A 30K train manager is still more than a 25K bus driver.
And there are a lot more road accidents than train accidents.

I worked at a startup during the brexit vote and our recruitment plummeted immediately afterwards. We would only get about 10-20% of the EU candidates applying as before. No change in UK candidates.

I remember digital cameras of that era writing to mini-CDs. I dont recall ones writing to 3.5" floppies.
