Welcome to the June newsletter for the Sussex route at Network Rail.

As we continue to respond to the Coronavirus outbreak, our teams continue to work at home where possible. Given the nature of their work, other colleagues such as signalling staff, track workers and maintenance departments are unable to work from home, and in the meantime, are working around the clock to keep the country moving.

With some of our work on sites, it will not always be possible for colleagues to maintain a two-metre distance from each other as recommended for social distancing. Please rest assured we are doing our very best to minimise these circumstances, adapt our work practices and where there are no other options, we are working to provide the best possible personal protection available.

As there begins to be a number of easements to the lockdown restrictions across the country, and as passenger numbers begin to increase on services on the route, we are working hard to maintain safety at our stations and on trains. Details on how we are doing this at our managed stations (including London Bridge and Charing Cross on the Sussex route and other large stations such as London Waterloo and Clapham Junction within the Southern region) are included within this newsletter.
