What did they say?
Vintage Trains said:
The well-being of our passengers and staff is our absolute priority and clearly our trains accommodate passengers for lengthy periods of time in close proximity; less than the recommended 1 to 2 metres apart. We have also reviewed the demographics of both the passengers and staff, many of which could be considered at a higher risk than the average.

I understand their circumstance due to the Coronavirus and I wish them the best of luck when this virus is over and things will go back to normal. No wonder the Coronavirus is causing many problems including businesses not just on railways but everything.
