This is an extract from the weekly TfL newsletter:
Enhanced cleaning regime for public transport We have introduced an enhanced cleaning regime to improve the already high hygiene levels on London's public transport. While Public Health England has stated there are no specific concerns about using public transport, TfL has chosen to make improvements to its well-established cleaning programme. Cleaning across the Tube and bus network now includes additional substances that kill viruses and bacteria on contact in order to reduce the risk of coronavirus spreading. Our trains, stations and buses are already professionally cleaned daily, but last Friday we began to roll out an enhanced anti-viral fluid on Tube trains and stations to provide added protection. Key interchanges will be cleaned more regularly than usual, including during the day. All buses will now be carefully wiped down with strong disinfectant every day in regular touched areas, such as poles and doors. We will also use this disinfectant in depots and drivers' cabs, which were previously cleaned regularly with traditional disinfectant. We are also in the final testing stages of a new, longer lasting cleaning agent that would provide anti-viral protection for up to 30 days. We hope to begin using it across the network in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, Public Health England urges everyone to wash their hands regularly throughout the day, before eating and when arriving at work or home. Following this advice ensures that using public transport is as safe as the rest of the city. By using enhanced fluids with anti-viral qualities, we aim to make it even safer. |
