students are still allowed to travel home from tier 4 areas. they are also encouraged to use private transport not public transport. once home they become a single household with their family. if the parent didn't get out of the car then I can't see that collecting them has added to the risk of what the regulations already allow?

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Aye, plenty doing the same. Mother called last night saying one of her friends had made the exact same trip yesterday. She reckons it's safe because she's going in a car.

Apparently this is allowed (although it's also possible one part of the government isn't aligned with another part):

However I suspect for some people it wouldn't matter if it was allowed or not. They want to see their kids who have had a hard time this term.

Hard to see how this prevents transmission from Tier 4 to other areas though, so many exemptions that it's going to get everywhere quickly and then it'll be a national lockdown which will be at least tier 4, possibly stricter.

Its allowed though under the spurious rules as they're effectively a 'support bubble'.

A key theme of this pandemic and the government/public's response is just because you are technically allowed to do something doesn't mean you should. Common sense should prevail, but unfortunately it isn't very common.

That's allowed isn't it? My daughter is at Uni in London and was given a travel window from 3-9 December to return home. She was specifically advised to do so.

That's different though, that's before the tier 4 regulations.

It's still allowed though. It's a huge number of vectors leaving tier 4 though to other lower tiers.

Then you shouldn't technically be allowed, it's that simple. If things are open to interpretation, they'll be exploited whether innocently or intentionally. Once again, an absolute mess from the Tories.

Chill..most parents would have done the same. Anyway, it's ok to travel fom tier 4 to a lower tier if they isolate for 10 days once they get there. If you see them out hugging everyone then you can feel aggrieved....

Agreed, it's very poor from the Tories. But they can't be seen to be 'stealing Christmas'. All they care about are headlines, nothing of substance.

Although I do still think people should exercise a little more common sense and self-restraint. There are no laws against going for a drunken unicycle on Beachy Head, but I'm not going to do that either.

I don't believe there are any rules saying that unless you can provide a link (it's certainly not on the government website).

Best not to spread misinformation regarding the rules. Travel from tier 4 to lower tiers is not allowed regardless of isolation upon arrival.

This is a specific exemption for students.

Nice views from there though, although maybe under appreciated if you're drunk.
