Abstract
None of us would have imagined that Covid-19 would last this long. However, recent insights demonstrate that we as a human will need to adapt and live with it for quite some time or even perhaps forever. Interestingly, due to COVID19, many news reports have shown a significant drop in public transport usages. In fact, the number of train passengers are at the lowest level in decades as demonstrated in Figure 1, revealing some daily facts of national rail usage in the United Kingdom over the period. The coronavirus causes severe long-lasting imprints on many sectors, and railway is not exempted. With the necessity to survive, railway sectors must adapt to enable and support the recovery of economic activities now.
