The 'stay at home order' is being removed this Monday - but what does this mean for transport.

Well TFL (Transport for London) have released a guide to travelling as Lockdown eases.

The government is still urging people to stay local and walk/cycle whoever possible.

However you can now use transport for non-essential purposes.

TFL is encouraging people to use transport outside peak times and of course the government advice is till to work from home where possible.

Face coverings are still mandatory on all forms of public transport unless you are exempt.

Andy Byford, London's Transport Commissioner, said: "For those who do need to use public transport, we want to reassure you we're doing all we can to make the network as safe as possible.

"Our extensive cleaning regime, using hospital-grade antiviral substances, is keeping our trains, buses, Tubes and stations cleaner than ever and multiple sets of independent testing has showed no trace of the virus.

"We will also continue to enforce face coverings for those not exempt and will not hesitate to issue fines to those who should be wearing them."

"Capacity limits remain in place on all buses, with the exception of dedicated School Services, to help maintain social distancing.

"Double decker buses are limited to 30 passengers, while single deckers, depending on size, are limited to either 11 or 14 passengers.

"Buses signed as School Services are operating at full seated capacity, consistent with Government guidance."
