TOSM change to T&Cs

Submitted by Lorna on 8 December, 2016 - 14:26

We have now received legal advice that the changes to trains management DO constitute a change to TOSM terms and conditions. Any TOSM who believes they will be unfairly impacted by the changes to trains management are advised to contact their rep for further advice on the next steps to take.
