So employing contractors, who clean the stations and trains at a cheaper
rate than employing more staff, who are more expensive isn't an

effective
use of labour?


No.....
I mean using existing staff effectively. Having staff at levels which
balance a trade off between cost and under-staffing


So you employ someone with a good grasp of the English language and safety
related procedures of the railway and contract out the cleaning (as it's not
part of the core business) isn't?
