Local trains virus free

Lab results have shown trains running in the south east are testing negative for coronavirus.

Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern’s carriages were all tested over the past three weeks following treatment with a long-lasting viruscide.

Swabs were taken from areas in the train carriages frequently touched by passengers and staff such as grab rails, tables and toilet handles.

Govia Thameslink Railway’s chief operating officer Steve White said:
“We are carrying out a comprehensive testing regime of our trains to ensure that our customers can travel with confidence.”
