Social Distancing on Public Transport during the Coronavirus Pandemic
Roger Winnen
​Last Saturday 23rd May  I was able to purchase a Day Return Ticket to Gunnislake a week after being refused stating  that I needed to be a key worker to travel. This information was false as the general public were permitted to travel without any restrictions.
Travelling on the 08.50 from Penzance to Plymouth, this train carried only a few passengers none wearing face masks throughout the whole journey. Passengers were asked to occupy the window seats of the Castle Class HST for social distancing. Cleanliness was most apparent on all trains and stations which was a credit to all concerned. Most toilets in Cornwall were closed, however Plymouth remained open throughout the day.
All food outlets together with WH Smith were closed as well as the waiting rooms at Plymouth however Redruth appeared to be offering a take away service from the buffet, this being a private run establishment.
​Many notices were posted up for social distancing of which I have displayed in the series of photographs below and in the features section January-June 2020.
