We spoke to Vernon Everitt from Transport for London about the current position on public transport:
Ahead of a further relaxation of Government restrictions, which will see more businesses and venues reopen on 4 July, we want to remind you about what to expect if you are travelling for the first time in a while.
We have put measures in place to enable safe journeys for everyone and your travel experiences may differ from before the pandemic.

Enhanced cleaning regime: We are using hospital-grade anti-viral cleaning products in all public areas across the network.
Key interchanges are being cleaned throughout the day and there is an enhanced regime across our entire fleet of Tubes, trains, trams and buses to ensure surfaces, such as poles, handles and doors that are regularly touched, are clean.

Face coverings: Everyone travelling on public transport must wear a face covering over their nose and mouth, unless you are exempt. Find out how to make your own face covering.
The police and TfL’s enforcement officers are deployed across the network to encourage compliance and if necessary they will refuse entry, ask people to leave, issue fines or prosecute. Thank you to the overwhelming majority who are complying with this requirement.

More street space for cycling and walking: As part of our Streetspace programme we are working with boroughs across London to widen footpaths and provide more cycle lanes.

These are just some of the measures in place to make your journeys safer. Find out more about our plans.
Please travel outside the busiest times. During the week the busiest times are between 05:45 and 08:15, and 16:00 and 17:30. Find out if your stations are among the busiest.
You should continue to work from home if you can. Also if you can, please try walking or cycling part of your journeys or getting off a stop or two early to help make space for those who have no alternative way to travel.
Our tools can help you plan your journey, including Journey Planner or our Facebook Travelbot.
Thank you very much for your help in keeping everyone safe.
