'Using a bus in Northampton was terrifying...overcrowded, no social distancing and no windows open'

Concern at the lack of masks on bus

I have to use buses from Duston into the town centre for various appointments. Yesterday I got the Stagecoach 5 bus, and it was terrifying.

The driver had no mask, other Ppeople had masks below their chins, there was no social distancing, it was over crowded and there were no windows open to aid ventilation.

The seats with “not in use” signs were being used, and the seats for people who have disabilities at the front were taken by people who had no such issues.

The Drapery is streaming with people with no social distancing, no masks, coughing, smoking, shouting, and barging into people waiting for buses.

The 9a on my return was even worse than the 5.
