Shunters wages

London are paved with gold too.

You’ll earn the industry average (what ever that is). If shunters were earning £1000 pw after tax, there would be no vacancies at all and I’d have been doing it for the last 20 years.

Boots on agency were paying £18 an hour for shunting as I knew a couple of guys doing it on agency, and that was before any pay increases. Could be higher now.
So if you wanted to work 6 shifts a week on nights that’s £1296 a week assuming no deduction for breaks. And that’s assuming basic rate with no other premiums on top or any hours at an overtime rate. No life mind doing 6 X 12 hour shifts every week mind.
