Trains are cleaned at night - but now on a much enhanced programe , and frequency for deep cleaning , plus there are groups of extra cleaners doing in service passenger area cleaning - concentrating on touch points (door open buttons, handrails etc) , as well as table surfaces (where provided) - for example everything turning round at St Albans gets a clean , ditto Luton, Bedford and many other locations. Inter City trains are seeing cleaning on route - not just litter picking but surface wiping. These are redeployed staff and new entrants.
Yes - if you see these cleaning bods at stations , be nice and say thanks to them. I always do. They often do 12 hour shifts.
Useless fact - New York City subway doing much the same - no night service for heavy cleaning and enhanced in service cleans. Someone went out and did about 34 random COVID checks on in service trains - not a single positive.
Somehow need to get passengers back on public transport , they having been scared off them for so long by the media etc.
