Birmingham Leeds clean air zone charge PLUS London
« on: 07 February 2020, 12:49:08 »

The Beta reg check is on-line to check if you need to pay fees (Brum/Leeds)
I heard the Birmingham zone becomes live this summer

https://www.gov.uk/check-clean-air-zone-charge

My 53 plate 2.6 V6 is Omega is chargeable for Brum £8
the astra petrol 1.6 cars are chargeable for brum £8
the astra diesel tractors  are chargeable for brum £8
no charge for Leeds YET

obviously the above checker has been tweaked from the london ULEZ checker
 (new link ,the transport for London link is changed)

https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/check-your-vehicle-35896

My 53 plate 2.6 V6 is Omega is NOT chargeable 
the petrol astra 1.6 cars are not chargeable
the diesel astra tractors are chargeable £12.50

just some examples of the family fleet
obviously ,if your unlucky enough to have to visit Brum,Leeds or London then check  ;D :D

According to a friend who has to use it, the DVLA database isn't very reliable but is so badly organised searching it requires a lot of lateral thinking.

My RRS is chargeable for Brum but not Leeds.
The 4.8L V8 BMW is not chargeable for either, neither is the 2007 Cooper S (both petrol)

Same for London, but I can't imagine driving into the ULEZ..

Pah,,, this is costing haulage companies, thousands. Anything euro5 or less, no go. Got to go euro6+. New euro 6 truck £80k. We've got 63reg that will soon not be allowed into these, money making zones., It hasn't had a big impact yet on s/h values, but when it kicks off, they will plummet. Any thing with forigen plates is exempt.

I ran some more of our reg plates through the checker for Brum

one 54 plate (12 January 2005 registered) astra H 1.6 z16xep engine  is euro 4 but gets charged £8
one 57 plate ( 30 April 2007 registered)     astra H 1.6 z16xep engine is euro 4 but won't get charged

mechanically they are the same  ::)

so the checker is pants

when the LEZ started, a friend in Faversham looked at his fleet of mostly non-compliant refrigerated vehicles, did a few calculations, remembered he was over 60, and wound up the business. The trucks lost a large chunk of their value in the southeast, so he had to sell them much further north than was convenient.


The recovery company I worked for had to be careful which light vehicles we used inside the M25, and could no longer do any heavy jobs inside the LEZ.

All mine are £8 for brum, nought for leeds.  Not that it matters, seeing as I don't want to go to either (although rumour has it that central brum may be my new place of work, which will then likely be the day I leave ;)).

I feel sorry for the people who live in the zone, only exempt for two years.

I notice that a number of car dealerships premises are now empty.

To visit my wifes elderly brother we are going to have to make a 15 mile detour, probably going to take over an hour instead of 20 minutes.

We could always take the bus I suppose, and sit with the great unwashed, 3 buses probably 2.1/2 hours.

My Volvo V90 is ok for both probably due to the Adblue system - which I have just had to top up for first time.

I have a car that runs on LPG. For some reason I can go to London with no charge but it's £8 for Birmingham.... Something dodgy going on because the advice was if it is okay in London then it will be okay in Birmingham..... suddenly the goal posts have been moved!
