Any Covid 19 precautions on the train?

No mention leaves me wary.

If they are going to use the old air-conditioned Daewoo trains then you are in trouble. Their old diesel aircon systems run on full power all the time. This may result in some 12°C/53°F in some corners of the carriages, especially in the chair cars. A perfect environment for a long virus life. Don't forget to bring your winter gear and a woollen blanket.

so you have to read this thread to get news that the curfew is eased. why is it not a topic by itself.

TVF has all the threads regarding the lockdown or easing thereof, pick & choose which one interests you.

The changing of the curfew hours form 22:00-23:00 start is little news, therefore not warranting a thread for that alone.
