Where people are unable to do this, they should pay with the exact fare.

Reduced timetables are currently in place, but the firm states the service continues to provide early morning buses for key workers and essential travel.

People with any coronavirus symptoms should not use public transport.

Police on the South coast of England have said a "significant proportion" of fines over the Easter weekend, for breaches of the lockdown measures, were given to people on "day trips", external.

Sussex Police said more than 100 notices were given out, the majority of which were in Brighton.

"All of the FPNs issued in Brighton and Hove Division were to people who live outside of Sussex," a force spokesman said.

In Camber, East Sussex, police said they fined couple from St Albans who made the 150 mile round trip "to come and walk on the beach" as well as a man from Bexley, London, who admitted to "riding around the south east on his motorbike".

Chief Constable of Sussex Giles York, said: "Local people are listening and doing the right thing by staying home, protecting the NHS and saving lives.

"Unfortunately, a small number of people from outside of the county deemed it appropriate to visit the area, and these people were engaged with, explained to and encouraged to go home, with enforcement being a last - but necessary - resort in some cases."

A doctor has branded thieves "selfish, shameless, idiotic criminals" after gloves and masks were stolen from a GP surgery in East Sussex.

The Manor Park Medical Centre in Polegate had been leaving equipment out for patients to use during appointments.

However, a number of items were taken from the porch where they had been kept, prompting an angry response from the surgery.

In a Facebook post it said: "To the people who have been stealing the small supply of gloves and masks from our porch, which have been left there for patients who are having to visit the surgery to put on: You selfish, shameless, idiotic criminals."

The message added: "You are putting vulnerable patients and staff at risk. As a result, there will now be none left in the porch, which will delay matters for patients and staff at a time when we are trying to minimise the amount of time vulnerable patients are having to be in the building."
