ULEZ Expansion is lawful

Now, if only they'd kept the tram network like other European cities

Electric trams in major cities would be a darn good idea. Not many in the UK, recall they had them in Blackpool.

They have them in Blackpool, one part of London (Wimbledon to Croydon), Newcastle, Manchester and Nottingham plus Sheffield, Edinburgh and West Midlands.

(Not tried out the last 3.)

Lots of UK towns and cities had trams. The Glasgow network was one of the largest in Europe, extending quite far out of the city; it was also ahead of its time in having female drivers.

Have you booked parking at LHR and have an older car? See here.

I like this bit that could give rise to three ULEZ charges:

Please note, if you have booked Meet & Greet or Valet with a non-compliant vehicle and have selected a different exit terminal to your entry terminal you will be liable for a ULEZ charge to transfer your vehicle to another terminal.

ULEZ today = toll roads tomorrow

with EVs I think that is almost inevitable. £35bn~ is currently raised by road tax and fuel duty. Thats going to need to be replaced.

Neath had gas trams. . Never terribly successful when the passengers have to get out & push it up Skewen hill.

Cardiff had trolley buses, I can remember the wires up in the air.

Swansea had trams, the Mumbles Railway, and a funicular up Constitution Hill.

Another good idea would be smaller cars. Why are they so big these days? Bring back those little things in Only Fools and Horses.

Too polluting, they need to bring back those little Sinclair C5's.

The size of cars the middle classes buy seems to correspond with the size of the potholes. The local council won't deal with the potholes until a whole cyclist is lost in one. Which can't come soon enough...
