Average salary for a train cleaner is £19,763 per year. How can any of them afford to live?
WHAT WAS CLAIMED
The average rail worker earns £44,000.
OUR VERDICT
This figure is the median salary for rail sector roles. It includes train drivers, who are not involved in the RMT strike, and excludes other workers such as cleaners, who are. The RMT says the median salary of its rail members is £31,000.
