Social distancing 'impossible' on London commute say workers, as lockdown eased in England
The government advises passengers using public transport to stay 2m apart and wear face coveringsThe 47-year-old street works inspector said he saw"less than 10% of commuters wearing masks" on his London Underground journey."There could be a second wave of infections coming."
Transport for London said passenger numbers between 05.00 and 06.00 BST were up 9% compared to the same time last week."Any notion of self-distancing on buses or tubes is going to be impossible," said Drew Aspland. The 36-year-old walked to work in central London from Bethnal Green after seeing his bus"back to pre-lockdown levels of passengers".
