Which did each get then?

If you really require those details, ChrisB, they are readily available in the full list on the Government's website, at https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/694929f072075a1d4a5089cd/NY26_Gov.uk_List__Final__18_12_25.pdf
However, there are some other names in that list, where senior people at the Department for Transport have been awarded "Order of the Bath, Companions of the Order of the Bath" for 'Services to Transport'.
Surely, they were just doing their jobs - for which they are probably already very well paid?

I didn't log those, feeling the the award of a recognition is the important bit (to me, anyway) not which rung of the ladder you are put on.

Yes, but they don't get the reward us campaigners get of travelling on public transport and thinking "I had a bit to do with getting that running"

Also, civil servants have their own rungs that they automatically move up while employed as such....don't get me started....
