Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what improvements have been made to ventilation infrastructure on (a) buses and (b) trains since the start of the covid-19 outbreak.

The Department for Transport has published ‘Safer Transport’ guidance for operators, which helps transport organisations understand how to provide safer workplaces and services for themselves, their workers and passengers.

The Safer Transport guidance includes a section on ‘Ventilation’, which suggests ways in which transport operators could ensure that a fresh air supply is consistently flowing through vehicles.
