You asked
Dear Transport for London,
In regards to Underground operational staff uniform (e.g. Customer Service Assistant), please provide information on how uniform allocation works.
1) Is uniform allocation based on a number of items, or their financial value? E.g. "maximum 10 items" or "maximum £100 worth of items".
2) Is such an allocation the same for everyone or does it differ per area/station?
3) What is that allocation per person?
4) When does this allocation reset itself?
5) Can staff ask their Area Manager to make an order above the allocation?
