Who said that the public has not returned to the railways post-pandemic? Peterborough station's platforms one and two are rammed with leisure customers travelling up to London. Those to the left will board the 06.56 Skipton to King's Cross LNER Azuma service. Meanwhile, those to the right will take a slower Great Northern unit to the capital. This image is commonplace at many locations on the network during what is referred to as off-peak times but perhaps with the decline of commuting the whole off-peak/peak time structure needs a fundamental re-think.
