There was an advert recently (3-4 months ago) for South Western Railway for on-board catering staff which talked about OTE of £26k. I guess it varies between operating companies but SWR is not really long distance as the extremities are Weymouth / Exeter but from experience it is rare there is any catering west of either Bournemouth or Salisbury, or after about 6pm out of Waterloo and when there is it is very sporadic. At the weekends a catering trolley is incredibly random and in my experience a real rarity and only between Southampton and London too, never west of this on Saturday or Sunday.
So wonder if this £26k is the lower end because it does not involve long shifts and no evening or weekend work?
