I just want to know not who sanctioned the increases, but who is physically
Paying the increases to the drivers?

I don't know what is behind the OP, but I recall from the early stages of the RMT action that the Transport Dept had the ultimate say on wage increases and the minister would not allow the deal negotiated with the franchise holders.

So I need help understanding please.

Aren’t most of our train services franchised with private “ownership” and Management?

If so, surely the Franchises pay the drivers, not the govt? Have I missed something? Is it because Starmer has increased the govt subsidies??
