Well I took a train for the first time since the start of Lockdown last night, to meet four friends to go on a socially distanced evening walk the other side of Nottingham, which is allowed. I was surprised to see, posted on very entrance to Nottingham Station, notices from British Transport Police, saying "You can be refused travel if your journey is not essential". The visual display at the side of the concourse also displayed a message from East Midlands Railway, saying they are offering a reduced service for essential workers only, and everybody else should not be travelling. Given all these intimidating notices, I was surprised I was not stopped at the ticket barrier, despite the fact that I was wearing trackies and walking boots, and carrying a rucksack. I don't know how anybody can logistically be stopped, so why all these notices. I was the only person on the whole train. I assume there was a guard, as there was an announcement about the train approaching Nottingham. I don't know if the guard would have known how full the train was, or whether the announcement would have been made to thin air had I not got on the train and it had been completely empty. At any rate we need a consistent approach across the country, and not this farce. The whole country is paying for all these empty trains.
