Answer
As the pandemic has changed travel habits, the Department expects train operators to use this opportunity to reassess their services to provide efficient rail timetables that respond to new passenger travel patterns, are fit for the future, and carefully balance cost, capacity and performance. Operators are also exploring opportunities to better match train capacity to demand, though more effective and efficient use of rolling stock.
