The Department continues to work closely with train operators and the British Transport Police to build on existing measures to keep passengers and staff safe and promote COVID-19 compliance, particularly in light of the new strain of the virus. This has included reiterating the importance of reminding passengers how to travel safely by wearing face coverings, maintaining social distancing and hand sanitising, and encouraging passengers to book ahead where possible to manage demand. Additional in station and on train announcements are also being made.
