Coronavirus Implications For London's Transport

Don’t bet on it

I’d bet a huge sum on it - if I had it!
The most I can envisage is 2:3

If the roads in Central London are back to pre COVID-19 levels it is likely the higher £15 congestion charge will remain or be further increased.

It seems the DLR is carrying more people now than the other lines. 

I went up the West End last week, early afternoon, the roads are nowhere near pre-Covid 19 levels, I was actually able to cross parts of the Marble Arch junction without having to wait for the "green man"!

Its far from pointless with management refusing to make a commitment to respect existing agreements or to negotiate any changes and from talking to other drivers there seems to be plenty of support.

Don't do that in Copenhagen. I was there a few years ago, one Sunday my wife and I were strolling around, not many people about.At the crossing, there were three or four locals waiting to cross. Nothing coming in either direction, so I started to cross. Big mistake. Seeing I was carrying a copy of the Sunday Telegraph a man behind me said something to the effect "This is not London, wait for the green man!" Wasn't sure if this was the way they are instructed or their being robotic. I thought to myself if they did that in Oxford Street, fatalities would cease overnight.

Depends when and where one is.

I’d say the suburbs are back to normal levels at many times of day, indeed the eat out days I’d say are busier than normal especially in the evenings.

Central London is undoubtedly a bit quieter, though the last few weeks have seen things pick up. City of London is still very dead.

The big thing is there still isn’t much of a morning peak. I’d expect that to change when the schools return.

One way or other there’s certainly been a return to things like traffic jams in the last couple of weeks. I’ve been driving in more often recently for a number of reasons, and been held up a number of times recently, which was naturally unheard of back in April, May and June - and indeed would be very rare on a normal weekday at the times in question. It’s tended to be for silly reasons too - a KFC drive-through queue blocking back onto a major roundabout was one such reason!

Rather uncomfortable bosses than dead ones.
Or workers.

yes but if this requires web access it is only ideal if you have an encrypted connection - ideally at home you would use a physical cable as it is more likely to be secure than a wireless connection.

I caught an eastbound TFL Rail train at Stratford this afternoon at around 4pm / 16:00 hrs and noted that platform 8 was far busier than I've seen in a while, there were too many people for full social distancing, although 1 metre was possible.

The near empty Class 345 train absorbed everyone with ease - but again we were closer than 2 metres apart!

So, passenger numbers are increasing - albeit slowly!

My recent journeys on the DLR suggest that social distancing is being ignored with people occupying all seats that are available.

I think it's something to do with people losing out on their education.

Some 'government' types seem to regard it as important.

You should pray to God every night of your life that you don't live in the US.

There, not only are the police judge and jury, they're executioners, too.

Another US police officer kills an unarmed man.

I won't even pretend to know what you mean by that.

You might also like to know that they have now handcuffed the black man they shot in the back and is currently paralysed and unable to walk to his hospital bed. BBC Report

I'll say no more as this is off topic, but since your attack on the French was allowed, it would be invidious not to point out that there are far worse police states.

ETA: I see you've now changed your posts, but it's still not clear exactly what you're trying to get across.
