Hello,
I am safeguarded staff and have a staff travelcard with boxes. As I am disabled for the last few years I have had my travelcard endorsed to allow an attendant to travel with me when using a free box.
I have just received my new staff card and the accompanying letter says I must have an attendant with me, I cant travel on my own.
This seems to be a downgrading of conditions, as some of the time I can travel on my own, at other times I need an attendant to travel with me. I phoned RSTL who informed me I should have always travelled with an attendant and will be subject to a report of irregular travelling if i use a free box on my own without an attendant.
Apologies for the lenght of this enquiry, but would appreciate if anyone could clarify the position.
Regards,
Anthony
