Apparently, Tube drivers are going to be issued with shorts for the
summer!!
Is this to go with the sunglasses they got last year to wear in the
tunnels?
Or to wear on the next picket line!

I got my Rayban issue some years back. A couple of years ago they did
another issue. However, because I now wear glasses for driving, they say
I've got to have the clip on ones. They've never bothered issuing these to
anybody - I think someone has a car boot sale somewhere.

If the shorts issue is anything like the other uniform issue, then I won't
hold my breath. The issuing of uniform on London Underground, like
everything else, has now degenerated into a complete shambles. My depot
had a uniform issue last September. Some people are still waiting for
their issue as they have received nothing at all, many are waiting for
outstanding items. I'm still waiting for my shoes.
