   • 2020 6月 17, Christian Wolmar, “The strategy of 'don't use the railways' must be reversed...”, 出自 Rail，頁號 44:

     My earlier warnings, both in RAIL and in an article I wrote for The Times, have not fallen on deaf ears. There are many people (I suspect most) in the [rail] industry who recognise that telling people not to use their trains will cause lasting damage, but they are silenced publicly because they are now taking the Government's shilling.
