Travel in Moray: Distancing rules end on trains

Legal requirements for physical distancing on public transport were removed yesterday.

ScotRail has confirmed it will observe the new Scottish Government guidelines.

David Simpson, the rail firm's operations director, hailed it as "a significant step towards recovery".

He added: "While there will no longer be a need to physically distance on trains, customers will still need to wear a face covering in stations and on trains.

"We’re asking customers to do the right thing and wear one, to protect everyone.

"Customers should also continue to take personal responsibility for how they travel with us.

"If they think a train is too busy then they should wait for the next service."
