Letter: Virgin welcomes babies on trains
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The Virgin West Coast policy is very simple - we welcome all customers and hope that they will respect the needs and sensitivities of other travellers (letter, 19 March).
Any mother wishing to breast-feed her child is welcome to do so, but it would be helpful to check that those around her are comfortable with this.
We hope that anyone disturbed or embarrassed would move, but our senior conductors on the trains will help if necessary - and they all know this.
We look forward to Mrs Johnson's next trip and hope that she and her baby enjoy their journey with us.
