Protecting Against Regional Spread of COVID-19

The Capital Connection is an inter-regional service and we have a duty to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 along its route. 

For this reason, the following people are not allowed to travel:

• Anyone who is a confirmed or probable COVID-19 case
• Anyone who has been in contact with a suspected, probable or confirmed COVID-19 case 
• Anyone suffering any flu-like symptoms, including (but not limited to) fever, cough, sneezing and feeling tired

Keeping clean, keeping safe

During these times of high alert, we ask that all passengers respect current hygiene advice by keeping their hands clean and by coughing and sneezing into the pit of their elbow. 

However, most importantly, we ask that you stay home if you are feeling unwell. For the safety of your fellow passengers and crew, we will be looking for signs of illness and will not carry anyone who may be infected.
