I don't think females under MF contracts are offered trousers as a uniform option, its skirts only, I think.

That's correct, when initially given uniform trousers are not available, but they now have the option of wearing trousers, they have to email their manager and state why they want to wear trousers. The union was about to take a case to court since the other fleets could wear trousers and thats what was offered as a compromise. Though many of the women prefer wearing skirts and not many have taken up the trouser option.
