Network Rail Bonus

The public perception of the British rail-network system is one of gross failure to provide an adequate return for the service provided. The media always play mind games, but it is also always unclear who is the 'master' mind. The declaration of 'average' boardroom bonuses will inevitably promote widespread anger. The true situation may be hidden under the cloak of resentment.

Supposing that bonuses are 'earned' due to good business, then the railway network must be providing a good return, though (presumably) only in financial terms since passengers always seem to be financing higher fares for a declining service. Clearly, the service standard is measured in the financial profit and not in the standard of the service.
