it is also worth noting that, despite all the wibble, this is simply an idea at this stage. It will be one of many the industry is trying to increase customer confidence that train travel in the current environment is as safe and secure as it can be in order to help passengers return to using the train. Surely that is a good thing?
I really can't see how this is supposed to increase 'customer confidence' - those who use it would probably have travelled anyway.
It's also clear that those citing this whole 'customer confidence' mantra are determined to ignore all those who are avoiding the railways because of masks and other over the top restrictions, and are only interested in those terrified of the Deadly Killer Virus- who in many cases will avoid trains for the time being whatever the TOCs try to offer.
