The French government is getting serious about keeping pollution levels down after lockdown.

Even with the report from the London emergency planners that the Tube won't be able to cope after lockdown, I don't expect a similar scheme from the UK government.
The statistics on short journeys in France do not appear to be a lot different to ours. Be interesting to see what Cycling Uk and Sustrans have to say when they pick it up.
