expedite_climb Where did you get that from? I came from South central to where i am now. One of the reasons was for the better pay deal, they were on 22k back then but have caught up a bit now and are on £28000. If its just something you have heard then i am afraid its wildly wrong. To earn 40k as a driver would mean a lot of overtime. It can be done easy but you have to put the hours in to hit 40+k. If you have real proof(whats the source of this figure) then forgive me. I still don't think 40k basic is on. Even Eurostar drivers don't hit that.
