    COVID19 and compulsory reservations

Do you envisage holders of such passes being exempt from these restrictions, or a system where...

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    How will the rail companies entice passengers back after this is all over?

    I would assume the government (who after all has all the TOC's on management contracts) will not want to encourage unnecessary travel until such time a vaccine is found. After that I would assume it would drift back and find its own level which may well be lower if more WFH and vastly higher...

    I have some questions about what happens regarding travel when the lockdown restrictions are eased. I have read speculation on this forum (that sounds similar to what some other countries have done e.g. Italy) that when the first phase of easing of restrictions takes place non essential travel...
