At my depot we have one particular driver who turns up to his work in scruffy EWS uniform and on top of that wears filthy dungarees and a dirty yellow vest/jacket no matter what train he happens to be working.
He turned up to work the Royal train dressed like that and was surprised that that the inspector threw him off
