Government says bus and train companies must decide whether passengers will be required to wear face coverings on services in England from Monday
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the safest option would be to continue to legally require people to wear masks on public transport.While virtually all legal restrictions in England will be lifted on Monday, some guidance will remain.
But nightclubs and other venues with large crowds will be encouraged to use Covid status certification - so-called domestic vaccine passports - "as a matter of social responsibility", Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday. Transport companies have been weighing up whether to mandate masks or not. If you're flying, chances are you will still need to wear one; many airlines have decided to keep masks as a requirement for travel.
Wales and Scotland both still require anyone travelling on public transport to wear a mask by law, meaning that those taking services that cross the border from England will have notices reminding them to wear a face covering unless exempt. It is the second time this has happened during the course of the pandemic.
