Â鶹ԼÅÄ

A two-part crime thriller set in a London bus control centre, inspired by the everyday heroism of keyworkers during Covid.

Part 1: All Routes

On her first day as a bus controller, Marilyn faces severe disruption when a street protest turns violent. Liaising with emergency services and redirecting drivers, she must rescue her old friend Frankie, and her passengers, trapped by the demonstration on Waterloo Bridge.

Meanwhile her husband Steve is coerced by Bianca into enabling a robbery from an empty office block where he works as a guard.

When the robbers’ getaway is blocked by the street protest, Marilyn struggles to manage the escalating situation, as work and personal lives become dangerously entwined.

Set against the backdrop of Covid and its impacts upon London’s key workers.
