Unattended items may be removed and destroyed. If you see any luggage left unattended, please inform a member of staff immediately.

What we are doing during the pandemic At Chiltern, the safety of our customers and staff is always our top priority. We are monitoring the situation closely and following the latest advice from the UK Government. To protect your safety we are taking the following actions: We have updated signage on trains and around stations to reflect the need to socially distance. We have changed our processes to reduce close interaction between our staff and customers. Please respect social distancing when talking to staff members. We have reviewed entry and exit points to stations and, if stations get busy, will implement queuing systems to maintain social distancing and avoid crowding. Adjusted our staffing levels to support social distancing We have increased train and station cleaning. We are cleaning the things people touch regularly like handles and rails with hospital-grade antiviral disinfectant regularly throughout the day. We have increased the amount of deep cleaning that takes place on our trains and in our stations, with additional cleaning teams on key routes. We are ensuring amenities are available to wash hands on board our trains and at our stations, with a well-stocked supply of soap, water and drying facilities. However, hand sanitiser is not available so please carry your own hand sanitiser. The charge for the toilets at Marylebone station has been removed. Staff are being reminded of the importance of maintaining good hand hygiene in line with advice from Public Health England.
