GNER - major boost to driver premium
The new agreement for drivers at rail company GNER will, from 7 January 2001, increase pensionable pay to £27,150 per annum plus a Professional Driver Premium (PDP) of £3,500 a year. From 1 April 2001 the PDP increases to £5,500 giving a total salary of £33,000 per annum. This is based on a 35-hour week, with a minimum shift length of six hours (subject to local agreement), and maximum planned periods of driving normally three and a half hours.
