This isn't a direct dig at Train drivers but how has it came about that a train driver can earn on average £52,000 a year after training for 18 months or so, but a nurse needs to train for 3 years and then can literally work any time day or night and not be paid overtime be paid around £35,000?

I'm not saying driving a train isn't a fairly important or skilled job, but it's higher paid than some airlines pay their pilots for example and I'd imagine flying a commercial airliner takes more skill than a driving a train.

Good on the drivers if they can get the work but it just seems so out of sync when compared to other skills and professions.
