Train operators are making plans to restore around 80% of services from next month, should the government decide to partially lift lockdown measures in May. Rail unions have said they will tell members to stop work unless the contingency plans address safety concerns.
Passenger numbers on trains are about 5% of normal levels, with only key workers supposed to travel. Most parts of the network are operating Sunday levels of service throughout the week. However, with the rail industry requiring four weeks notice to amend schedules, preparations are starting for a potential Saturday-style service, roughly 80% of weekday timetables.
