just as a comparison ,Tyne and Wear metro train drivers earn a shade over £30k .The only qualifications they need are basic GCSE's .So mainline drivers will earn more and as per this thread LU drivers even more ,now as far as i know any profession paying this sort of wage needs a good degree or at the very least a professional qualification .I'm sure that professionals such as Ignitionet and others on this forum will feel somewhat agreived knowing that a basic GCSE will get you a job worth 50k when they spent years at colledge/university paying £1,000's to get a qualification that may not pay as much as a train driver
