BREAKING: Train services slashed in half from Monday due to coronavirus.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps suggested to MPs on Tuesday that rail companies, as well as bus firms and airlines, could be temporarily brought under government control to help them through the coronavirus outbreak.
Mr Shapps said the action was being taken to ‘protect the public’ while still ‘ensuring keyworker heroes can get to their jobs to keep this nation running’. Robert Nisbet, director of nations and regions at the Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators and Network Rail, said the measures would ‘preserve services so that we can continue to get key workers to where they need to be, deliver food to supermarkets and get fuel to power stations’.
