Locomotive Services Limited has provided further details to RAIL about the steps it is taking to ensure its charters can run safely during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking exclusively to RAIL on board Saphos Trains’ first charter, July 15’s ‘Fellsman’ from Crewe to Carlisle and return, LSL Service Delivery Manager Steve Finn dismissed claims that by not requiring passengers to wear coverings on its charters the Crewe-based company is flouting Government guidance regarding face coverings on trains.
“If there was any way we were breaking Government guidelines we wouldn’t be operating. We’re not the sort of company to do that, and I don’t think you would risk your operations by letting all the world see that you’re breaking the Government guidelines,” Finn told RAIL.
He added that the company’s procedures have been approved by the Office of Rail and Road: “Every bit of paperwork we’ve produced - we have a quality management procedure for returning to work - Karen Barnes has a copy of and she is happy with what we’re doing."
