Later this year we are supposed to be going to Italy for and holiday which was transferred from March.
If the tour goes ahead and the rules change while we are away (like it did with Spain) and we have to Quarantine on our return how do we do it initially ?
We are flying from Gatwick and planning to go down on the train. So when travelling back north how can we do it when sharing a train with others ?
I've nothing against the rule but not sure how its possible until you actually get to your own home.
Some information here SW.

What are the quarantine rules?
Travellers from affected countries - including UK nationals - are asked to provide an address where they will self-isolate for 14 days. They can be fined £100 for failing to fill in a form with these details.
One in five eligible passengers will be called or texted to check they are following the rules.
People who do not self-isolate can be fined up to £1,000 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and those returning to Scotland could be fined £480, with fines up to £5,000 for persistent offenders.
Passengers should drive in their own car to their destination, where possible. If they don't provide an address, the government will arrange accommodation at the traveller's expense.
Once at their destination, they must not use public transport or taxis during the quarantine period. They must also not go to work, school, or public areas, or have visitors except for essential support.
Not are they allowed to go out to buy food, or other essentials, if they can rely on others.
People returning from overseas will not be automatically eligible for statutory sick pay during this period, unless they meet the required conditions - for example displaying coronavirus symptoms.
