Where can i find a train drivers wages comparison table for uk?

Question

im looking for a site/page that has a "league table" of train drivers wages between all the different train operating companies in the uk. tried but for the life of me i cant find one. cheers to the person that can help.

Answer 1

The hourly rate isn the same as the Royal College of Surgeons Brain Surgeon rate, except that Surgeons do not get double time for sundays.

Answer 2

I have not seen or heard of such a league table published.  The only thing I can suggest is to look on each TOCs website, and look for driver vacancies, which should include salary.

The only other possible source might be drivers union ASLEF, though you might have to write a letter to them.  It would probably help if you can demonstrate that it is for serious research.

If it's any help, Central Trains salary at the moment is 33358.  The biggest earners are probably GNER.

You should remember that salary is only part of the picture; conditions are also very, if not more, important.  EWS, for example, have reasonable pay, but the conditions are so lousy that drivers are leaving in droves.

Answer 7

That really varies from company to company and experience. I know that after a years driving on south west trains that the wage is just over £35k a year plus regional allowences. The average wage for a train driver with more than a years experience is probably around £35k.

Answer 8

I think Virgin Trains are the highest earners they earn upto £40k a year. One of my mates drives for them he said he's on £37k +3k overtime.

Answer 9

virgin and freigtliner h h are the top payers

Answer 10

There is no website or table for train drivers wages that are made public,  except the train grades unions seem to keep some form of record for their own uses.
