Tram driver pay

[507 001]

Interesting. Makes sense regarding driving/Guard. I imagine that'll be influenced by the route of progression and mixed nature of the Driving role in some tram operations, I think most of the guys I know have also done a 'conductor'/TTE/RPI style role on the trams. And the inclination of individual TOCs. I presume most Metrolink drivers have only ever been drivers?

Yes, the fact that Guards are on similar money to us makes the switch to that grade less attractive too.

There is an internal progression route from our version of ticket inspector, but it’s not a hugely common one.
