Michael Hewson at CMC Markets said: "Talk of new localised and targeted lockdowns, as well as curfews and quarantines appear to be becoming more commonplace, raising concerns about the resilience of the recovery we've seen thus far across Europe...Travel stocks are also coming under pressure again on the back of talks of new lockdowns, quarantines and curfews with IAG and easyJet leading the fallers." easyJet was down 7.3%.

The first stage, which represents the sale of a 15% interest in the rail programme, will generate GBP203.4 million for John Laing. The remaining 15% interest will take place up to 12 months later at John Laing's election and will generate up to GBP217.6 million.
