    Train Travel to Work

    Hi there, just a quick question for anybody who can help,

    **Start Rant*

    i worked for the prison service through an agency last year, but then an oppurtunity came up to go full time so i applied, also the service was moving to leicester, well cut this story short, i got the job and the office moved to leicester, so no i have to pay £160 a month for a train ticket, which is deadly annoying!!! and here is the part that is depressing me, 3 of my friends applied for th ejob too we all got it and we all have to pay this for the train journey! but everyone else in the office EVERYBODY!!! has to purchase the ticket then they claim it back on expences because they are allowed too??

    when we asked why we couldnt the answer we got was "because you applied for the job in leicester you have to make your own arrangments to get there,"

    is there anyone i can talk to like the tax man or something to ease the pain of this financial lose, the job does pay well but taking a blow like that is like £160 a month i could be using to get a ford focus (hehe), anyway i have joined "The Union" what a pile of crap they are!! i asked what can i do and can thye help they gave me the exact answer, so i am applying to ask the minds of evey user who comes on this website to shed some light on how i can either claim this money back one wya or another,

    **Rant Over**

    Kind Regards

    Eddie
