Not forgetting the generous holidays and final salary pension schemes they get where the employer contributes a massive percentage into the scheme !!! "Holiday entitlement Employees in the UK must legally receive 5.6 weeks of annual leave if they are employed full time, and this is no different for train drivers. This may differ depending on company policy. For example, TFL train drivers receive a minimum of 29 holiday days a year and traditionally work a 36-hour week, while Scotrail train drivers receive up to 28 days of annual leave entitlement including bank holidays. Most train companies offer comprehensive benefits packages that can include discounted and free travel passes, as well as leisure and hospitality discounts. Train driver pension scheme The pension scheme for train drivers is a final wage scale that depends on the number of years’ service. The number of years is divided by a rate of 1/60 to reach a final monthly figure." |
