At the very top of the second posting on the quiz, "Covid-19" section, if you click on the very last word, it is a link that brings up quite a number of related items.
Is that still a functioning section and if so, when was it last updated and who keeps matters updated in it?

Do rail strikes count in terms of current operational matters on this quiz?

This is not being updated at the moment, due to the absence of @FelixtheCat, some but not all of those still apply (the Gatwick Express still isn't running, for example, but Avanti are running to Blackpool North again)

It was the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent changes to the rules affecting both this quiz and that of the The Transport Game (UK) that were made as a result that added too much of extra regulations to be recalled in order to participate on both those two quiz section threads in terms of personal enjoyment. Remember that I have made postings on both those two quizzes running into the tens of thousands and whilst I have tried to make a somewhat tentative attempt at a return to this particular quiz, from memory alone, the matter that I mentioned a day or so ago about my missing information is proving too much for me and as such, whilst not wanting to make incorrect postings which would disrupt the flow of this quiz, I think that it will be best for all concerned if I return to the state of taking a sabbatical from it until all these Covid-19 extra rules and regulations (certain stations being closed, etc) are consigned to history.

I do note what you say about the absence of one of the three accredited quiz adjudicators, @FelixtheCat , in the posting immediately above this one and I do understand the pressure this causes to the two remaining quiz adjudicators, having been personally involved in that type of adjudicatiary position from 2011 to 2015 on this quiz until ill-health caused me to relinquish that role.

Therefore this will be the final posting that I will be making on the quiz until matters are fully resolved and all Covid-19 rule restrictions are fully rescinded.
