Details of the six-figure salaries have been revealed for the first time and were criticised by the RMT union.
Chief operating officer Joanne Maguire earns between £175,000 and £180,000 in her role.
ScotRail has said its pay is reflective of having to attract and retain individuals with the skills required to lead the operator. The operator also confirmed service delivery director David Simpson earns between £135,000 and £140,000 and commercial director Lesley Kane is paid between £130,000 and £135,000. Both are also in receipt of the additional car payment. Interim HR director Marie-Therese Weighton and interim communications director David Ross are both paid between £115,000 and £120,000.
Mr Hynes’ basic pay was around £255,000-per-year. In recent weeks, rail services have been severely disrupted due to action by the Aslef and RMT unions over pay and conditions for staff. He said: “A lot of our members are annoyed by the size of these pay packets and feel they far outweigh what they bring to the table and what they have offered our members. In my opinion, they deliberately postponed publishing these figures as part of a ploy over negotiations.
Mr Gibb, SRH chief executive and ScotRail chairman, said: “The senior team across ScotRail and Scottish Rail Holdings do an important job in leading our 5,100-strong team as we recover from the pandemic.
