Bus drivers commemorate colleagues deaths with minute's silence
A bus travels along quiet Oxford Street, London, on Wednesday
LONDON bus workers stopped work to stage a minute’s silence at 11am today, in memory of colleagues who have died from Covid-19.
The commemoration was organised by their union Unite, which said it was “running out of patience” with the failure of operators and Transport for London (TfL) to protect employees from infection.
The virus has killed 20 bus drivers in the capital.
