@TfL So parents taking their kids to school aren’t allowed on school buses? Let alone the fact that I’ve been on many many school buses that are picking up anyone (many more than 30) regardless of whether they are anything to do with schools or children.

[oliver bates @oliJbates]

@TfL is it possible that your school bus drivers could take into account people waving a staff pass and shouting ‘I’m a teacher’ when deciding not to pick people up despite driving and apparently empty bus?

[oliver bates @oliJbates]

@TfL So are teachers not allowed on school services, then?

[oliver bates @oliJbates]

@columbiaroad is the market re-opening today?

[oliver bates @oliJbates]

@BurtieStubbs @CatherineHawth1 She’s fine, I guess.

[oliver bates @oliJbates]

@TfL the lack of consistency in your rules is infuriating. Every day this week I have been on a full bus- having to stand on some services. Today I was refused entry to a full bus after as it let on tonnes of school students. If youre gonna ignore the guidelines, be consistent.

[oliver bates @oliJbates]

@TfL I am currently on a 197 service that has over 30 people on the top deck alone. Have we given up on social distancing?

[oliver bates @oliJbates]

@DeclanCochran So very true

[oliver bates @oliJbates]

@vickyfoxcroft do you know why lewisham primaries are expected to go back but Kensington and Chelsea aren’t? I haven’t seen any data suggesting that the pupils and teachers of lewisham are in a safe position to return!?

@crispinbest Hello!!

[oliver bates @oliJbates]
