I have received about 7% increase in wages in last 5 years, and would think that is the norm unless you have been promoted. So 1.4% pa. sounds right. |

They can justify £92.80 for 132 miles on a train line with hundreds of other people paying similar amounts because it is one of the three main benefits of privatisation, every body gets something - the bosses get huge salaries & bonuses; the shareholders get nice dividends; and the weary commuter gets extortionate ticket prices ;-) |

As I do not work now, I don't really know the price of rail fare. |
