Latest Coronavirus Travel Information
Travelling by Train
Train services have promised to do everything they can to action frequent and thorough cleaning on trains and at stations. Extra train carriages will be made available where possible to increase social distancing and clear and coherent safety guidance will be given during journeys and at stations.
Booking your train tickets in advance is an easy and effective way of minimising the risk of contagion. By removing physical train tickets and staying contactless with a digital format, you will reduce queues at the station and maximise social distancing. It has now become mandatory to have a seat reservation on some train lines to help with social distancing, so booking ahead of time is imperative.
Reducing your time spent at the station or platform by checking your journey times in advance is advised. There are a variety of useful and easy-to-use apps available with all train timetables and guidance. It is also advised to avoid travelling during peak hours where social distancing may be compromised.
Other safety guidance such as wearing face coverings at all times and carrying hand sanitisers on all journeys is also recommended when travelling on trains to reduce the risk of contagion and to optimise traveller safety.
