24 March 2020: Are there fewer people out and about today?

[MotCO]

Following the PM'a address to the nation last night, is there a noticeable reduction in the number of people out and about today? I'm seeing double decker buses carying fresh air, and the station car park has only about 1/4 of the cars it had yesterday, and it was quite empty then. Are people heeding the PM's advice?

Between Jct 2 and 3 of the M6 at 7:45 am it was lighter than a Sunday morning, but still many people travelling, especially lorries, not so many cars.

I've just nipped out (and felt like a criminal in doing so) and it definitely had a feel of early Sunday morning. Very few people about

Mostly yes. Though at Thirsk Station there was an woman with a suitcase going to London and coming back tomorrow evening on what almost certainly wasn't a work trip.
