The earlier services for workers are those more likely to be able to check up online than your average casual traveller during the day.
The 'peaks' will still be the peaks. There's still going to be services in that period, carrying the most loads.
If a big proportion of passengers who would normally travel between 0930 and 1430 are cooped up at home and those from 1430 - 1630 aren't at school or college, is there really the need to have a significant proportion of resource, allocated to that period?
