Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will take steps with train operating companies to compensate key workers commuting to work by train using a reduced train service during the covid-19 outbreak.

We greatly value the vital role that our heroic key workers are playing, which is why we are focused on protecting the public transport services they rely upon to get to and from work.

We have taken decisive action to financially support rail operators to ensure services can continue to operate.

Passengers are entitled to claim delay compensation in the normal way for delays experienced against the new timetables.
