People in Leeds have generally been respecting the government’s instruction to stay at home.
That’s according to data from people’s mobile phones since lockdown was imposed, which has shown a drop in footfall at train stations across the city.
The data was compiled from Google Maps, which estimates how busy certain places are compared to their history.
It does this by tracking the location of thousands of mobile phone users, and then compiling an index to show how popular certain locations are at different times.
Places are assigned a value of 100 when they are at their busiest, and 0 when they are at their most empty.
