Legitimately. I'm asuming that train crew on that service are issued with 
safety boots/shoes (i.e. steel toecaps and non-slip soles), which they are 
required to wear for safety. Not wearing safety shoes endangers the 
employee's own safety, and might get the employer prosecuted by the health 
and safety authorities.
