Bosses of three firms that supply trains to UK railways made £3.5m last year
Three bosses of UK train‑rolling‑stock firms earned £3.5 million last year, while their companies distributed almost £400 million to shareholders. The Guardian reports that the firms, which supply trains to the national rail network, face criticism for prioritising profits over passenger interests. This has prompted calls for stricter oversight of executive pay in the rail sector. Stakeholders argue the payouts undermine public confidence.
