Skirts are only "bottomless boxer-shorts".

Up yours, Swedish Rail, and your stupid rules:

Swedish male train drivers wear skirts to work

Posted: Sunday, June 9, 2013 12:14 pm

Commuters on a train line in northern Stockholm were met with an unusual sight this week: male

train drivers and conductors wearing skirts to work.

Train driver Martin Akersten says he and more than a dozen others at the Roslagsbanan line have

started wearing skirts in the summer as a protest against the train company's uniform policy,

which doesn't allow shorts.

The 30­year­old Akersten said Sunday the response from customers has been only positive.

Arriva, the company that runs the train line, hasn't stopped the drivers. Arriva spokesman Tomas

Hedenius says the company wants its staff to look "nice and proper," but can't stop men from

wearing "women's clothes" if that's what they want because it would be discrimination.

He didn't rule out a change of the company's uniform policy.

Some of you might consider it for summer.

That's a good railway. Only one thing about it, too many Swedes on that railway.

Sweden is so cold much of the year, maybe they should copy their Scottish cousins..
