That is all well and good, but there is very little comparison between an operator of the standard of Monarch and the ezy ryr of this world. On pay, conditions, staff value , et al.
If we are not careful we will all be dragged down to the "loco level" - and that is the problem for the wider industry. Not just the cadet saddled with a "CTC sized loan" taking 3 years to pay off, on an "enhanced" Loco salary.
Good grief.
