London North Eastern Railway and Northern Trains: Pay
(asked on 30th November 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether train drivers working for (a) Northern Rail and (b) London North Eastern Railway are classed as public sector workers and will not receive a pay rise.
This question was answered on 8th December 2020
Recent Office for National Statistics (ONS) data shows that since 2011 all rail workers’ earnings have increased at rates often double that for the average UK worker.
We are still working through how the public sector pay policy announced by the Chancellor may affect rail workers working for Northern Rail and London North Eastern Railway.
