Peak rail fares should be suspended over Christmas and mass testing should be provided for transport workers to avoid travel "chaos" when restrictions ease, Labour has said.A surge in travel is expected and Labour wants a "comprehensive travel plan" presented to Parliament.
Network Rail chairman Sir Peter Hendy has been appointed to assess how prepared road and rail networks are.to reduce disruption on roads and railways, including 500 miles of roadworks being cleared and extended train timetables. Labour has warned that more than two million people travelled by train between Christmas and New Year in previous years, plus millions more by car.
It said suspended peak fares between 23 and 27 December would reduce the risk of overcrowding on trains either side of peak hours.

It would also make sense to only allow tickets for specific seats, like with air travel. The alternative is overcrowded trains, or overcrowded platforms of people grumpy that there's not enough space for them on socially distanced trains.
