Guess what? Drivers of ATO trains get paid more, or at least they did when

That doesn't surprise me. Another please-don't-strike bribe no doubt.
You're not an MP are you? "Everyone gets a 0 or 1% pay rise except us."
Driving a train is a blue collar job. It probably requires less skill than
driving an HGV (which I have a license for invidentaly) or a bus. There's sod
all reason for them to be paid 50K+ for driving a vehicle that does everything
itself anyway except accelerate and brake even if not ATO.
