"...Bank of England Governor says families should take advantage of cheap petrol and food, as take-home pay rises"  Daily Telegraph 13 February

Carne, Network Rail

"From the start of these negotiations we have made it clear that any increase this year will need to be self-funding. Having rejected the efficiency proposals we submitted, we are not in a position to fund a pay increase for 2015.
"
Letter to rail unions 4 February

I wonder whether Carne without the Y will miraculously be in a position to find funds with which to keep the share holders happy, whilst flatlining employees' pay?  Whoops, little bit of politics there.  Well, there is an election coming up

Network Rail it is a company limited by guarantee and has no shareholders.  All profits are returned to the business.  Its members (who guarantee a small sum in the event that the company goes bankrupt) do not receive any benefit and a principally representatives of industry stakeholders such as TOCs^▸ (Train Operating Company). 

So finding funds to keep them happy would be finding funds to make the railway run better!

Oh, I sit corrected, ellendune, forgot NR^» (Network Rail - home page) doesn't have shareholders.  Thanks!  (she says, dismounting from hobbyhorse)
