Great, problem 1 solved. Now all they have to do is make trains affordable and then I may consider using them for long distance intercity journeys over driving.
… until they decide to strike again in six months time
In lithuania, a train driver Average Annual Salary is 12,240 EUR.
This deal makes train driver average base pay £69,000 (and probably £100k for most after overtime).
Should we just open our borders to any qualified lithuanian train driver, offer to pay them £30k (triple their existing salary), and make a 1 week conversion course to let their qualifications transfer to here?
Or even bookable. Yes, I’m looking at you, Avanti West Coast.
Well done train drivers. Every industry should do the same
Well done labour, fixing the U.K. one problem at a time.
