nice story, take a look at the London subway today around the news and social media that falsifies all your hopes. Welcome to the harsh reality and good luck.
The tube (subway) has been at half capacity for weeks.
If you're seeing photos of it being busy 'around the news and social media', it's either false, or TfL has overdone it in reducing service and so caused usual levels of crowding.
Excerpts from most recent service update email:
> Ridership on our services has fallen dramatically over the last few weeks.
> Some Tube stations that do not interchange with other lines will have to close until further notice
> From today, Friday 20 March, the Waterloo & City line will be closed and there will be no Night Tube or Night Overground services until further notice. Emirates Air Line will have a reduced service until 20:00 today
> From tomorrow, Saturday 21 March, Emirates Air Line will be closed until further notice
> From Monday 23 March, we will also gradually reduce other services across the TfL network
I work in Canary Wharf, the financial district. All the major companies with a skyscraper have their employees working from home now. Quite a few have been doing it for weeks not waiting for the official lockdown. It is a ghost town now.
