NETWORK Rail directors are awarding themselves huge bonuses amounting to £300,000 each – even one retired director receives this bonus – based on “so-called” work performances.

Rubbish. What about the responsibility of the train drivers, track maintenance workers, railway station staff, etc, who are earning ordinary wages?

Everybody has to live within their means. So why shouldn’t already highly paid directors, who don’t need these bonuses?
