Yes - with a plan poster board - I think that's where the SWR» (South Western Railway - about) timetable used to be ... looks almost like they don't really care if passengers use their trains or not ...

Interesting you should post a picture of station timetable boards (or in this case lack of!)

Number two is on a train with what looks like a 9:2 mask/no mask ratio.  Good to see given it’s clearly a busy service.

Indeed.   It's on one of the "duplicate services" that run through Trowbridge. I dread to think what the previous or next GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) train would have been like if it wasn't running ... but I didn't notice any DfT» (Department for Transport - about) types or SWR directors on board actually taking a look at what they were doing. But they did have this commitment displayed on a poster on board:
