COVID-19 Travel Advice
You can travel with confidence on our trains this Christmas. We have various measures in place to keep you safe which we will continue, including:
- Enhanced cleaning and sanitisation of our trains – with train cleaners wiping down touch points with virucide after every journey.
- Good air flow on our trains – air conditioning on all our new trains and some old trains sucks in fresh air every six to nine minutes. Other trains have opening windows. On all trains, doors opening at station lets more air in.
- Random covid tests carried out by an independent company have all come back negative. We’re also carrying out biological residue tests ourselves to make sure our cleaning is as effective and efficient as possible.
