Of course I haven't been stood at a bus stop because I was talking about trains. Buses, particularly in London have got their act together fairly well as regards access whereas the railways aren't much better than they were 20 years ago and new rolling stock hasn't made any difference regarding getting on and off the train. I drove during full lockdown when I wasn't spending weeks living next door to the office.Clearly you have not been stood at a bus stop and not been allowed to board the bus because it is full in accordance with social distancing - initially 15 people to a double decker bus. No decent train service operating.
You actually now appear to be doing what HM Government requested in the first place - driving to work rather than using public transport. Not possible when you have one car required by your spouse as a key worker. Many key workers have been inconvenienced.
When you couldn't get on the bus, were you refused access because of an inherent part of who you are or was it just because the bus was full? I've not been able to get on full transport and that's fine but when it's an effectively empty train that I can't get on or off of because a TOC or NR can't be bothered maintaining legal duties while littering concourses with walking hand sanitiser holders then I get a bit annoyed
