Scotland's Railway has ended the one metre plus policy of physical distancing at its stations and on board trains. Last week, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon confirmed the legal requirement for physical distancing would be removed on Monday, 9 August, including on public transport. The Scottish Government also confirmed that face coverings will continue to be required in some situations. This differs to the position in other parts of the UK, where the mandatory requirement for face coverings ended on 19 July.
