I think you'll find they were introduced by LT in the 1970s in a desperate attempt to recruit/retain staff and were nothing to do with the TUs.

IIRC even Boris dismissed the idea of doing away with nominee passes last time Boff and Co mooted it. Does not bode well if Goldsmith does get elected. Am not overly optimistic about Khan either. <br /><br />It is very sad to see Tfl being used as a political football every time there is a Mayoral election - and not good in terms of planning for future capital investment on the network.
