    Vaccine passports or masks?

    It is only some places but this includes shops, trains, churches, restaurants and hotel shared spaces. It wasn't relaxed by 25 October, which was the day I left. Since then I don't know. I've not heard of it being relaxed though. They also require proof of vaccine, covid or negative test to eat...

    Vaccine passports or masks?

    Are masks ineffective or is it the type of masks that many people wear in the UK that are ineffective? In Germany, it is mandated in many places that you wear either an FFP2, N95 or KN95 mask. Cloth masks are not permitted in many places by law.

    TFL and TOC dual stations and COVID rules?

    I doubt it as most would think to do such a thing. Khan quoted some stats the other day, on LBC, on enforcement and fines but I didn't catch them. However, with I think, only 400 enforcement officers, it wouldn't be easy to enforce, as others have said. The previous stats covered a period when...

    TFL and TOC dual stations and COVID rules?

    When I walk down the street I see masks on the ground. Same could happen at stations or on trains.

    What do you think about ‘pings’ because of the Track and Trace App?

    My theory on school children having to isolate, even if they had a negative test was that the government didn't want to pay if hundreds of PCR test so by making the rules as they did, it discouraged those from getting a test. I would apply this to adults and other situations too. My theory...

    TFL and TOC dual stations and COVID rules?

    I do agree masks on open platforms with no one around is absurd but then one might say so is banning smoking on open platforms with no one else around.

    What do you think about ‘pings’ because of the Track and Trace App?

    Are the people pinged by the app getting tested? Or are they just enjoying the time off at home, assuming they don't have any symptoms?

    TFL and TOC dual stations and COVID rules?

    He is the mayor of London so he has jurisdiction over London. Maybe if the people in charge of the country didn't remove the requirement to wear a mask he wouldn't be doing this.

    TFL and TOC dual stations and COVID rules?

    Well if they are serious, and I think they are, they will undertake that. If they don't of course them hopefully people would point this out. Whether one agrees or disagrees with it, they should still follow due process. 1626973764 Well some might say the Prime Minister shouldn't have made...

    TFL and TOC dual stations and COVID rules?

    Just heard Mr Khan on LBC, talking to James O'Brien, say they are looking into making the wearing of face masks a by-law. The YouTube video of their chat, which has just finished, is available at Go 41 minutes into it to watch the discussion. I assume if it was made a by-law then the Met...

    19th July Lockdown Easing - Observations and Compliance

    My barometer of covid-19 is Guildford railway station footbridge. It is a route that people have a right of access across regardless of whether you are using the station, save between 1:30 am and 4 am, when the Farnham Road Bridge is the official route. During most of the lockdowns and even...

    What do you think about ‘pings’ because of the Track and Trace App?

    The info has now updated. I don't know when but I didn't clear the cache. I did restart my phone last might though. Perhaps that did it.

    TFL and TOC dual stations and COVID rules?

    So can they specifically mandate it at stations if travelling with them even if they don't run or own the station? I mean legally speaking rather than practically speaking That is my understanding

    What do you think about ‘pings’ because of the Track and Trace App?

    Well, I've checked and there is no app update waiting to install but I'm still seeing out of date info in the app. I restarted the app too. This is on Android.

    What do you think about ‘pings’ because of the Track and Trace App?

    The test and trace app hasn't been updated to include the changes. Either that or you need to install an app update for it to display the revised message. My internal phone storage is low so an update might be waiting.

    What do you think about ‘pings’ because of the Track and Trace App?

    I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but can anyone tell me who in Transport for London are part of the pilot not to isolate? I read kn the BBC that they were part of the pilot but further down the news article, they said staff linked by the app were isolating. If that is the...

    TFL and TOC dual stations and COVID rules?

    Could they add a requirement to need to wear a mask at a station run by TfL? So bit a condition of travel but a requirement for those at the station. Obviously, exemptions, as there are now, would apply Would Khan have the legal power to do that and if he did, would it take too much time to...

    What travel restrictions change from the 29th March?

    If only they did. I'd love to be able to wear a top hat when out but I'd stick out to much and look silly. I don't own a top hat though

    Telegraph reporting 50-60% of services to be cut due to impact of covid

    I'm on a rare Gatwick Airport to Guildford slow stopping service. I appreciate in normal times they run late at night but not often one gets to use one during the day. I'll enjoy it while it lasts and from 19 April, there won't be a Sunday direct service from Gatwick Airport to Guildford. I...

    Telegraph reporting 50-60% of services to be cut due to impact of covid

    Well 2 weeks after there might be a change. I don't mean massive changes but gradual increase. So may be some trains from Reading to Gatwick Airport during the day. Unless they are more reliant on people wishing to fly.
