"A group of male train drivers who wore skirts in protest against a ban on shorts have emerged victorious. Around 15 employees on Sweden&amp;#039;s Roslagsbanan train service decided to take action after they were refused the right to wear shorts during the hot summer weather.  Arriva - who took control of the train service in January - yesterday (June 10) announced that they will alter their dress code policy, AFP reports. Arriva spokesman Tomas Hedenius said: &amp;quot;We received so many suggestions from our staff, and we listened to them and decided to change our minds on this issue.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re talking to the union and looking at how to do this. Our aim is that they should receive the [uniform] shorts this summer,&amp;quot; he added. Hedenius&amp;#039;s statement came just 24 hours after he stated that the company&amp;#039;s uniform policy would not be reviewed until Autumn. &amp;quot;Our policy is that you have to look well dressed and proper when representing Arriva, and that means trousers if you&amp;#039;re a man and a skirt if you&amp;#039;re a woman, but no shorts,&amp;quot; Hedenius commented on Sunday (June 9). Temperatures inside the train carriages are known to reach 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) at the height of summer. &amp;gt; Boy wears skirt to school after shorts ban &amp;gt; Students&amp;#039; skirt length picture goes viral "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
