It's like a giant moving petri dish, on average one spreader gives it to three people, so seriously good luck to anyone on that train. Seems like cutting down tube services backfired rather badly, although very curious how many are going in just to sit at their desk and how many are critical staff.Comment

People need to travel
1. either earlier or later, or,
2. use bikes, buses and taxis, or,
3. walk, or,
4. take a slightly longer route,
to avoid busy lines.
The last time I travelled on public transport I planned my journey so I avoided known busy lines."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Lots of key workers have to commute into London and it's not accceptable that the transport they need is being removed.Comment

Given that there are a lot of key workers that still need to get into town and that it's much quieter, it would surely make to suspend parking restrictions around as many key worker sites as possible and encourage people to drive in, or cycle/walk if they can and avoid the tube?Comment

So much for lockdowns and social distancing:

I reckon most / all are self employed, so I get why they want to go in, but surely you can put distancing measures at places like this.Comment
