Salaries – and almost 1, 1.6 million in bonuses for 37 executives who have resigned or resigned – were quietly approved the day after the Platinum Jubilee weekend of holidays, when London was hit by a 24-hour subway strike called by RMT for protection of jobs and pensions. The revelation will cause difficulties for Sadiq Khan as he seeks to win a final bailout for the TfL and a long-term capital financing agreement to upgrade the metro and bus network and repair roads and bridges. The mayor has already proposed removing 22 buses and reducing frequencies to almost 60 more to save cash instead of cutting TfL pensions. He has threatened more severe cuts – including the metro – if the Ministry of Transport does not comply with his demands. A government source said: “This is an incredible amount of money, which came out secretly a few days after the mayor invoked poverty and announced huge cuts in buses. “We said last week that these bus cuts were unnecessary and were only made to highlight a political point of view. We said that there were many other things that TfL could reform first. “These payments reinforce our view.” Susan Hall, leader of the GLA Conservatives, said the figures were “an insult to hard-working Londoners”. He said: “We all want a long-term financing agreement for the TfL, but the mayor is not helping the case of London by appearing so rude with his finances in times of such financial uncertainty.” A spokesman for Mr Khan said on Thursday afternoon: “The mayor understands that the Londoners will be shocked by this and was clear with TfL that these lump sum payments to outgoing TfL staff should be minimized. “These huge retirement payments are the legacy of the high salaries and long notice periods agreed upon by the previous mayor. [Boris Johnson]for which Sadik has taken action. “Since Sadiq took office in 2016, the number of people with a salary of more than .000 100,000 in the TfL has dropped by almost 20 per cent and the mayor has agreed with the TfL leadership that no new bonuses should be paid until until TfL achieves financial viability. April 2023. ” Many TfL employees saw their pay exceed 100 100,000, as bonuses earned in 2019/20 but deferred due to the pandemic were added to payment packages. Others reached six numbers overtime. This included engineers working to extend the North line to Battersea, transform the Bank station and integrate the Elizabeth line into TfL. Among the top incomes in the last 12 months were:

CFO Simon Kilonback, who received £ 407,461 including a £ 77,825 bonus. Surface Transporter Gareth Powell, who received 80 380,294 including a £ 54,132 bonus. Major project manager Stuart Harvey, who won £ 375,276 including a £ 84,365 bonus. Tube boss Andy Lord, who won 45 345,970 including a £ 23,711 bonus.

Crossrail CEO Mark Wild, who left TfL when the Elizabeth line opened last month, was paid 44 447,717. He did not receive a bonus in 2019/20. Despite the fact that the number of passengers is still lower than pre-pandemic levels, the TfL workforce increased by 239 people to 27,034 in 2021/2022. The salary increased by 220 220 million to 24 2.24 billion. TfL commissioner Andy Byford, who was appointed in July 2020, won 5 355,000. He did not receive a bonus. TfL is expected to agree next week on a system that will allow executives to receive bonuses of up to 20 per cent of their salary and Mr Byford up to 50 per cent if TfL ‘breaks’ on a daily basis by next April and other performance targets have been met. TfL withdrew the bonuses for the year 2020/21 as it struggled to stay alive. It demanded 5 5 billion in government cash to replace lost fares. An independent review found that TfL salaries and bonuses were less generous than those available in the private sector. Mr Byford says TfL is suffering from a “brain drain” due in part to better wages elsewhere. Mr Kilonback resigned in April and Mr Powell is due to leave shortly. A total of 242 “gold bids” were agreed with the departing staff, at a cost of £ 12.5 million. Kay Carberry, chair of TfL’s earnings committee, said TfL was “working hard to reduce operating costs and become more and more efficient.” He said: “It is vital to be able to attract and retain people with the right technical skills and experience to deliver complex programs and keep London moving.” Lower-paid TfL staff were offered a 3 percent pay rise yesterday – but mid-level executives were told their pay would not increase. A confidant today described the bonuses, which were revealed in the TfL annual accounts, as “outrageous”. Vernon Everitt: Left TfL with a payback of £ 626,037 / TfL Mr Everitt was appointed transport commissioner for Greater Manchester by the city’s mayor, Andy Burnham, in March. TfL said his compensation “reflected the duration of his employment within the TfL” and the severance pay included a one-year notice. Mr Everitt declined to comment.
