<p>During the COVID-19 outbreak, open access operators have been able to draw upon
the extensive support measures that Government has made available across the economy,
including the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Government has supported applications

order to allow them to seek more favourable terms from lenders and suppliers. The
British Transport Police Authority has allowed Hull Trains and Grand Central to defer
the contributions they make towards the cost of policing the railway during the period
when the companies were in hibernation and not running trains.</p>
