Shepherd's Bush Lockdown 2.0

Empty trains on the Central Line
Shepherd's Bush is back into Lockdown. Pity the businesses who barely survived the first Lockdown; now they must endure it all over again. 

There are however some rays of sunshine, such as the empty Tube train which opened its doors to me during my morning commute on Thursday - the first time in my adult life when I have sat in an empty train during "rush hour".  

For those who aren't getting out much, or indeed at all, below are some resources for surviving Lockdown 2.0 in Shepherd's Bush.

Facebook Group
There is a Facebook group dedicated to helping out our neighbours during Lockdown. People post useful material and it is easy to search. Find it here:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/631746507662286
