A tweet showing someone selling social-distancing signs from Buckinghamshire's trains as a top has gone viral.

The Chiltern Railways blue bands are meant to be wrapped around seats.

But they have apparently turned up on shopping app Depop.

The tweet has been shared over 370,000 times.

The listing reads:

"Got me a few of these.

"Can do different sizes."

Chiltern Railways told us:

"Whilst we appreciate this new take on railway memorabilia, these items are there to help customers travel with confidence and we would respectfully ask that they are left in place."
