Buses in Lockdown South Coast

In early 2020 the world was infected with a deadly virus known as coronavirus, Covid-19. In order to control this pandemic governments across the world including the UK Government imposed a so-called ‘lockdown’ to help stop the spread of the disease. This had a major impact on the everyday lives of people and of course any travelling on public transport. By the end of May in England some travel restrictions were lifted and bus travel started to resume, but mostly for key workers that needed to travel to and from their workplaces. Following government safety guidelines the Independent Transport Videos cameras went out to record these revised services and to capture the strange atmosphere that was once busy streets and roads in nine locations along the south coast of England radiating out from our studios in Dorset. Locations visited are Weymouth, Poole, Bournemouth, Salisbury, Winchester, Southampton, Fareham, Gosport and Portsmouth.
