Yes (and I already have) - but if it's a longer journey I will spend most of it slowly eating crisps and drinking cans of beer
They will have a very hard job justifying keeping them on if the rate keeps falling and falling....That's good to know. If all restrictions aren't lifted on 21 June then I'm planning on becoming exempt after that date anyway so it's good to know I shouldn't get too much hassle.
I won’t visit a single premises where mask wearing is compulsory other than those where I have literally no other choice. I absolutely detest them.
That's been my position throughout. I've made sure I haven't been a dick about the whole thing, but they don't stay on for a split second longer than the law requires.I will wear face coverings to the minimum required by law, and no more. Once they are no longer required by law, they go.
I expect there to be an increase in exempt people from 21/6/21.............If from 21st June masks are still mandatory ( I hope not but increasing suspect they will be ) to get away from the local area I will end up very reluctantly tolerating them but only for at most an hour at a time. Very unlikely I will take a 100+ mile each way day trip let alone a rail tour.
OTish but if masks remain mandatory on trains I expect it also will apply elsewhere plus the need to pre-book. This will reduce the number of places I will consider visiting and hence the number of rail journeys.
Sounds like me. I detest masks. I did go on a bus on Saturday first time in over a year. I tolerated the mask because the alternative was to walk along a busy main road with out a footpath. (Risk management) . I was only on the bus 12 minutes and £4.50 lighterI won’t visit a single premises where mask wearing is compulsory other than those where I have literally no other choice.

Absolutely. There's a lot of cutting off of noses to spite faces here.Most definitely. Can’t let something as trivial as that put us off. Gotten used to them anyway.
It's not really a matter of cutting off my nose to spite my face. I'm exempt because I can't deal with them for more than a couple of minutes at a time. Other people's experiences definitely do vary, but even amongst the people I know who can manage them for long enough to do a shop, a decent proportion of them start to experience significant distress after half an hour or so. For those people, a trip won't be a leisure experience in any meaningful way.Absolutely. There's a lot of cutting off of noses to spite faces here.
I use bandanas, which seem to be (a) universally accepted and (b) tolerable for lengthy periods, although I noticed EasyJet refuse them, so I shan't be travelling with them anytime soon.Yes, I will, travelled from the 'north' to the south coast last September for a two day stay, and will be off to Devon/Cornwall end of May, I guess the ones I have are reasonably comfortable for me personally....
I will not take to driving just because of a mask. I will take the train and make sure my money goes in the kitty and encourage others to do the same to do my little bit to help the railway come out of this god awful mess.
6 months 75 minutes each way every day including walking in stations. Never once has it been that uncomfortable I've even been in discomfort let alone made me not want to travel
It's amazing how much more comfortable it is if you invest in a comfortable fabric one rather than throwing a small fortune away on endless disposable ones.

Same here, much easier to be understood/heard but if travelling on days off prefer my own non disposable ones as I'm not generally talking as much!Strangely having not gotten on with the blue disposable ones at all initially I found as I got used to them that actually they're far more comfortable for me in a job that requires a lot of talking etc, provided you don't get a crap one that has sharp glue points sticking out or whatever. I have my own for travelling about and shopping where they're just sitting on my face though.
