train drivers get that money because they tspt humans not tins of beans,
If that is the case why are coach drivers wages generally lower then truck drivers?

The reason train drivers get more money, is because it’s closed shop(as far as I can tell)
If your face don’t fit, you ain’t getting in. Plus, if the train drivers strike, who are you going to get to drive ? Polish ?
And 1 train not moving causes major hassle for thousands of voters, a few trucks off the road, and joe public is chuffed to ■■■■.
When we get to a situation where there are only 1000 truck drivers in the country, we might have a bit more clout. Until then, we are expendable.

Old school, I like it and so rare these days.
How will we know when Tesco drivers go back to work?
They still drive as though they are on a daytrip to the seaside 
Do you mean they drive at the speed limit and hold you back?
Shame on them! (Not!)

No they drive at well below the speed limit whatever the road conditions. In most of Europe there is a maximum and a minimum speed on motorways.
So if you get a Tesco truck doing his normal 48 mph and several coaches doing a legal 60mph in lane 2 It is the Tesco driver that dictates the pace
However in Yorkshire we call it hanging the bag out
