Back on track with a Newquay thread -
The Southwest is in a more positive position for any new-normal connectivity to start flights again, and including the PSO, also possibly
seek to receive more Govt Aid in due course.
BA is the only airline at the moment to be able to restart the London route when it is able to do so.
If SD measures are needed on an aircraft then a A319 is big enough to still carry a decent pax load (and freight maybe>?)
LHR is not the only route that NQY needs, but MAN and EDI are all prime connections, plus likely Glasgow & Belfast too.
The GWR Night Sleeper train service (which is part Govt funded) has been suspended but it will start up again once a new-normal is defined.
In fact SD has a solution on that mode of travel as the twin berth sleeper cabins can all be made single/solo berth.
Rail Travel from the far Southwest had a reasonable service with brand new GWR trains, but a journey from anywhere west of Plymouth, and you were looking at a 4 to 5 hour scenic train journey to Paddington - Half a day...
National Express coaches are all suspended at the moment, UFN.
