This is simply not true. All Railway Pensions are still Final Salary based. The only thing that has changed is that the retirement age has moved from 60 to 62 for most staff..
It's not the only change. In the same deal that moved the 'normal' retirement age from 60 to 62 was also a change to how much of a pay rise was pensionable.
Iirc, it is 0.5% above December? RPI.
If a grade within a toc decide to 'sell' some of their t&C's for a higher cash pay rise then it won't all be pensionable.
The old calculation that if you had 40 years in the scheme and retired at normal retirement whether you would receive 2/3rds of your final salary.
Unless all pay rises are less than that RPI + 0.5% cap then it won't in essence be a final salary scheme as has been widely accepted.
TSSA, RMT & ASLEF did these deals pretty much in secret with RDG/ATOC with no consultation with members and it was then presentented as a sealed and done deal.
