The the only way to invest in rail, including increasing pay, is to put up prices. Given the cost of living is rising, this is not going to go down well with the public.
Or take them back into public ownership and take out the massive profits given to shareholders and use the money to reinvest in the services and lowering ticket prices like the majority of European countries.
