I'm not surprised that "63 Transport for London staffers last year took home more than £200,000", because it's a big organisation and if some of the transport modes were split off into standalone companies, these would be substantial in themselves. What I am struggling to comprehend is:
So this is the mean average. I'm puzzled about why the organisation doesn't seem to have large ranks of staff in lower grades, earning £30k, £40k, or even £50k or £60k, which would result in a lower average than £83k. Is there something I'm misunderstanding about this average?

TfL's 26,994 staffers last year took home a combined £2.25 billion, according to its last annual report. That equates to an average of £83,337 each.
