ScotRail is spending £1m a year on salaries of seven top executives. 🚆 Three months after it was taken into public ownership on 1 April, ScotRail has published the salaries of its senior management team.

The highest paid rail executive in Scotland is Alex Hynes, the joint managing director of ScotRail and Network Rail Scotland. He earns up to £335,000, but this is paid by Network Rail.

ScotRail moved to a temporary timetable in May, cutting almost 700 daily services after a pay dispute with drivers’ union Aslef resulted in staff refusing to work their rest days. Scottish Labour transport spokesman Neil Bibby added: “It will come as a shock to the people of Scotland that in the midst of a cost of living and travel crisis, part time officials at ScotRail are earning six figure sums.

“Many ordinary commuters don’t benefit from a car allowance when their train is cancelled so it’s hard to see why this is also appropriate for ScotRail bosses.”
