The clerical staff get those bonuses too?
I no longer have contact with City workers which touches on pay but when
I did (until a few years ago) it was certainly common for secretaries to
be on £30,000-£40,000 with bonuses of £thousands. Clerical juniors will
of course get less. But none of them were low paid by the standards of
many of the people I used to work with.
My point was rather that if the consequences of a conviction for the OP
are serious then it may well be better to pay for advice, especially if
the CAB cannot offer personal representation.
On a separate point, I am not sure anyone has yet answered the OP's
question about a criminal record. That and other questions is asked and
answered ("yes, if you are convicted") in TFL's FAQs
