As a key worker, I’ve been commuting as normal since mid-April (after being on leave) and have not experienced a single on-board ticket inspection since the lockdown began. This includes travel on London Overground, on which random inspections were a fairly regular occurrence. The barriers are in use at both ends of my outbound journey, though the barriers at my home station are usually open at night when I get back.
I did see a GTR employee in uniform on one day in late-April, but he appeared to be travelling as a passenger. I did remember getting my ticket out of my wallet, when I thought he was about to ask to see it. But I was immediately struck by the thought ‘how is a check compatible with social distancing guidelines?’
