yes 70 k to press some paddles great and scientist avg salary is 28 k but train driver is soooooooooo imp in british country to receive the highest amazing
I am a mainline train driver and I do a four day week, granted, but I’d have to work 416 days in a year to earn £100K… want to explain to me how that would be physically possible?
@@douglastaggart9360 No, I work a 9 hour 15 minute shift, starting at any time of the day. Week of early ones starting any time from midnight to midday, followed by a week of lates starting anytime from midday to midnight. I’m in control of up to 600 tonnes of machinery, with as many as 1000 people behind me; do you think I should be on minimum wage? Or do you think I should be paid the same, relatively, as I was five years ago?
@@saran.gandhi It’s not that hard. I am on a little over £50K, so I would have to work twice as many days in a year than the 208 my contract mandates in order to earn £100K. That’s not to mention the fact that if I wanted to double my take home pay I would have to work even more than that to offset the extra tax.
What has been the increase in dividends the train companies have paid to shareholders? The increases paid to the company executives. 5% this year after years of 0% and 1% pay rises will still mean the thecworkers are still behind the inflation rate and the increases in average wages.
So they sud not get a pay rise like the privert sector 🤦🏽♂️. They are working class like most so y can’t they get inflation pay rises. There hard working people the ones that sud get the best benefits off the government if you can call a pay rise a benefit 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Just hurry up and bring out AI trains.. everything will run perfect on time and cost nothing.. No more strikes or greedy train drivers on bonkers money
Agreed. In 20 -30 years there wont be train Drivers. Computers do 90% of the signalling, speed change warnings, and can stop the high speed trains if certain conditions apply. Labour at looking at taxing pensions over a certain amount so the money will be clawed back & in future if Labour gets its way they wont get a state pension if they have a Private Pension(s) which pays them more than a certain amount.
@@stephenjon3502 yes very easily.. tractors drive themselves around open fields already In 5 years lorrys will drive themselves You think it's harder for a Train that doesn't even use a road
@@SwiftGifts-ni6qzSo what tractor does excess of 100 mph and has to negotiate stopping at stations, Red signals, points crossings, maintenance work etc? You are talking twaddle.
Is this a joke ? 1 white presenter ? What you mean is . A level results. Giving all the new arrivals easy test results …Box tickers got a easy pass. Show us who got them.
Most of the money goes to shareholders, not staff. Ffs get it right, these people haven’t a clue.
They accepted an offer which brings their pay rise for the last 5 years an average of 2.85% per year, well below inflation and people still upset.
Too right we are.

@@cicada3301dashIf it is so easy then why don’t you apply to become a train driver
@@moonlit_forest2680Too busy reading The Sun.
And you don't get paid when you're on strike so if they can afford not to work so many days per year you can't be struggling that much financially
About £50k a year
@@Dirpitz train driver there are paid a lot more than that. They are a lot closer to 100k
Greedy sods they do a four day week and with overtime could earn £100,000 a year.

Overpaid and underworked!
Have you ever been a train driver? Or did you just imagine how easy it is?
Nonsense and nonsense
Just shows most of the strikes were political. All of a sudden it can be resolved.
It doesn't. They were political from the Tories, nobody else
This shouldnt come as any surprise...Labour rewarding their paymasters 👍👍👍
Would you rather they continued the strikes and cost the country more billions?
Give them all whatever they ask for.
Are you for real
@@douglastaggart9360 Just give everyone what they ask for and everyone will be happy, Until they are not :)
Labour will just pay all the public sector has to do is ask and they will get
They will might get a pay rise in line with inflation but unlikely in line with average wage rises. Ie not as much as you probably.
So they sud not get a pay rise like the privert sector 🤦🏽♂️. They are working class like most so y can’t they get inflation pay rises. There hard working people the ones that sud get the best benefits off the government if you can call a pay rise a benefit 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
They protected the their own because they understand the friend enemy distinction
@@AdamRiddle-c3l how about realise the injustice of zero and 1% pay rises for the last 14 years whilst the bosses and shareholders get real increases.

Never give in to strikers, if they don't like the working conditions they can get another job.
Shush 🤫
So employers should be allowed to do what they like to their employees?
@@DJHen91 Their company ...their rules!!
@@cockroach19 horrendous attitude. Good job there are trade unions to stop that happening
@@DJHen91 So you think people should be able to work for a company and do exactly as they please?...not good for company business
Not a chance

Nice to the pensioners winter fuel money going to a good cause
