It would be interesting to hear what percentage of a salary/wage increase members of the forum have had over the last five years if anyone is prepared to share that information?
Perhaps TG can start the ball rolling?
Happy to share, not sure what value it adds to the discussion as there are so many different factors involved in individual jobs, different businesses, sectors which make meaningful comparison difficult however I've never been one to moan, whinge or run/dive for cover when faced with a tricky question so here goes  ; 2020/21 0% 2021/22 0% 2022/23 2% 2023/24 3% 2024/25 3% Thanks. So not too far off an apparently ‘unreasonable’ 10% then? Anybody else? |

Add to that the RYR▸ programme cancelled immediately.

I can / will start that ball rolling but in a different direction. During the last five years, I have completed my retirement and Lisa and I are now living on pension/saving provision we had in place prior to that. You'll have to do without your Winter Fuel payment....removed unless you are on benefits. |

I can see a “no money left in the pot” when it comes to railway staff given what’s already been dished out. |

Indeed - that 22% to junior doctors plus all the public sector pay rises have been included in that £22billion shortfall....
Labour have spent £24billion in 24 days by choice....

At this rate Doctors will soon be earning almost as much as train drivers! |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

By ‘Doctors’ I presume you mean Junior Doctors (GP’s generally earn 70-100k) and if so, yes, I certainly hope so. Consultant Doctors (who were awarded a 6% pay increase last year) earn between 95-125k. The general health crisis the nation will soon face (and in some ways is already facing by my God it’s going to get far worse!), means all Doctors will be earning every penny they get. |

Have they actually started yet? I have seen plenty of hype but no reports of action (or rather inaction). |

From my local GP practice site, see https://www.tyntesfield.nhs.uk/opening-hours It's generally a Monday to Friday service, but it is possible to see a doctor at the weekend - by negotiation.  |

Round this way there's a central GP "hub" at weekends based at a local hospital, if deemed necessary via 101 triage you are invited to attend. It's staffed by locum doctors who (reputedly) receive a sum not unadjacent to £1,000 per shift. Having taken Mrs TG along a few months back on a Saturday afternoon, it actually works pretty well, and most importantly takes the pressure off A & E. |
