Yorkshire - London

[BearBearBearBear]

I'm supposed to be doing this journey on Sat for one night.

Train from york to Kings cross then tubes to Kensington.

Out for dinner, then club. Then overnight in a hotel.

My DH and DM think I'm bonkers for going.

I really don't know what to do...

Personally I wouldnt. Too much close contact and public transport

Well would you do it if someone told you there was someone on the train with it? And there's your answer! Because there probably is!

I went down on the train to london on Monday on what is normally a packed train and it was 20% full. However mainly business travellers so maybe more caution in place than travel for pleasure? Tubes also quieter than normal.

Personally I probably would still go and wear disposable gloves across London

I've just spoken to a friend and he's no longer going to use the tube and his works head office has closed for 2 weeks and they're all working from home.

I think if I'm sensible I'm going to give it a miss. I think I'm more concerned of passing it on or getting stuck down there.

I still have to get the train into London every day for work, personally I don't see the big deal about going.

If it's this Saturday I would go. There are still only 460 confirmed cases in a country of 70 million people. The chances of you encountering it at the moment are extremely low.

IT'S FINE! Enjoy yourself.

Bumping for more opinions as I'm still undecided..

I live on the outskirts of London and I'm not using public transport at all at the moment.

There are likely a lot more people with the virus than the confirmed cases, yesterday they said likely at least 5-10k in total. Obviously the chances of someone being on your train is still low but is it a risk worth taking...

I wouldn't. And this morning a London tube driver has tested positive and the various transport unions are clamouring for better advice and guidance.

I think it depends on your family situation. I would do this because I think that the trains will be quite empty. I am still going to the supermarket, the kids are still going to school so I could catch it from anywhere. We are all healthy with no underlying conditions.

If I however had any health issues, or if my family did, then I wouldn’t go.

To the pp who said that there were only 460 confirmed cases, did you not listen to Boris yesterday?
