Given the distinct lack of passengers, and uncertainty as the whether or not they will return, should we stop investing in the railways until we know if the passengers that were there before Covid 19 ever come back?
Its a genuinely worrying time for the railway. I came back from Brighton to St Pancras last week on Thameslink, it left Brighton with a handful of people on it at around 16:45. Even more worrying, the 19:02 from St Pancras to Sheffield left with 17 people on it. The railway now seems unsustainable.
