Good Afternoon,

We are in challenging times, and the Government has asked everyone to limit non-essential travel, practice social-distancing and where possible stay at home in order to stem the transmission of the Coronavirus.

Data collected over the weekend shows that there are still far too many people travelling on our tube services and across the transport network (bus/tram etc). We need to help to reduce the use to essential travel only.

To help us to reach out as widely as possible across our communities, our marketing and design team have been working this weekend to create posters and tweets in the top 14 languages spoken in London.

These are:

• Bengali
• Polish
• Turkish
• Gujarati
• Panjabi
• Urdu
• French
• Arabic
• Tamil
• Portuguese
• Lithuanian
• Romanian

The message is: Do not travel unless it is essential. This is to stop the spread of Coronavirus and save lives. Check TfL.gov.uk

Attached is a copy of the poster promoting this message that can be used for tweets; newsletters; email comms. Also attached is the final poster which will be placed in tube stations and at bus stations; tram stops etc across London.

I would be grateful if you could help us using your social media channels to promote this message (using the above/attached text) and poster.

Many thanks in advance for your support.
