I see the anti Railway Press (you know which ones) are shouting that hundreds of Train Drivers earn in excess of 100k all the time. Really?

Some of those rags say the same thing about everyone - in all lines of work - especially when they go on strike.
With a number of employers / lines of work, the reality seems more like one or two big bosses seeing those rates - and the majority of people who do the real work being expected to aspire to something close to the legal minimum wage, with unpaid overtime or split shifts.Sometimes, there appears to be an element of trying to destroy public sympathy by presenting ridiculous claims as "established fact".
Round here, a well known bus company recently pulled a similar stunt - paying a local rag to print a piece full of claims that had already been debunked. Eventually, the piece had to be retracted.
