Personal news : covid jab this afternoon. Impressed : am under 50 with no medical issues! I got my jab today! also under 50 Received a text yesterday offering me a jab today anytime 10am - 2pm. Seems they are offering jabs to people that are under hospitals / been in hospital. Was very impressed with the service at Excel in and out in less than 30 mins spent more time sitting for 15mins before driving.

Good. And I hope that the restrictions on capacity are lifted soon, so that people returning to bus travel aren't put off by being left behind by buses with empty seats. Buses are covid-safe if they are ventilated and passengers wear masks if able to do so, especially now the most vulnerable in society have been vaccinated.

Not only that but since Imperial College began monthly testing on the TfL network, it has found no traces at all so I support this entirely. It’s safer on the bus than in other places

Those drivers died at the peak of the pandemic before any additional measures were put in place. My concern is as more people are out and about hygiene standards will slip as a false sense of security is created by the lower cases and vaccine. No matter how clean transport is people can still pass the virus on.

No matter how clean transport is people can still pass the virus on. It will never be known where they caught it, and it is not really right to speculate, but as it was very uneven across London (tended to be concentrated at a few garages) there is a very high chance that sitting in a bus cab in isolation was not the main cause. In the early days of the virus there was negligible sanitisation of staff rooms, toilets, ferry vehicles etc. And of course people had other social events. What is now known is that the overweight, those with poor diets, those with other health conditions (including some undiagnosed conditions) are more likely to get it a lot worse.

Journey to work yesterday , and I’ve not seen so many people on the tube and trains since covid struck (off peak on a weekend)
Night life starting to fizzle again.
Let’s see what happens, I hope it stays like this. People seem happier.

I remember a news bulletin soon after the lockdown last March, where a policeman asked a guy at Stratford station why he wanted to travel, and he said it was to meet up with his girlfriend. I had such strong doubts about going there last June that I went no further east than Bow. I am due to make amends in May though.

Bus use is now at 51% of the level of 1st March 2020 and Underground use is at 30%. (Source: BUS NEWS 24-04-21, LondonsTransport Google Group)
There are some slight variations to the school extra/priority buses this term (from 19th April). Route 61 now has extras. Route 282 has been added to the routes with morning school priority buses but these have been removed from routes 428, B12 and S1.

Belly Mujinga inquestThere is to be an inquest into the death of Belly Mujinga, the Govia Thameslink Railway employee who died following an alleged spitting incident at Victoria Station in March 2020. The Senior Coroner has decided that an inquest is needed as her death may have been "unnatural" and human error may have been involved. The Coroner said there were questions that needed to be answered about the use of PPE, and about Mujinga's deployment at a time when frontline staff were known to be at increased risk. The Transport Salaried Staff Association has made a statement welcoming the decision, as has the solicitor representing the Mujinga family. A date for the inquest will be set in the near future. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/may/07/inquest-to-be-held-into-covid-death-of-rail-worker-allegedly-spat-at-by-customer
