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.

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.

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.
