Potentially £48/60 every time I go to work. Which isn't going to happen.

[TheBoy]

Can't check my old Silver Bullet, as its been scrapped for too long, but TBE is still showing as exempt from ULEZ (obviously still gets congestion).

[TheBoy]

Thankfully I never have to drive into that shithole anymore, so Mr Khan can stick his charges up his arse. I'm expecting a lot of problems when these ridiculous charges come into force across more London boroughs next year.

Unfortunately for those who don't want to pay for the moron to pull down statues of anyone who is not British, the alternative is the Chiltern Slug*.  Which is slower, more expensive, more unreliable, and you often have to stand wedge between several pushbikes that the look-at-me's keep bringing with them onboard.


*Other, equally useless, services are available.

I think those of us with any commonsense know fully well that these ridiculous charges to " improve air quality" are total shite & inevitably all vehicles will be charged regardless, they'll then wonder why more businesses will be closing their doors in our cities ,so glad that we moved out of South London in 1987 & if need be we can walk into town in 12 minutes.

Oxford City Council cannot understand why, after effectively banning all cars from the City Centre, and charging those with an ICE, irrespective on its milk float capabilities, why all the shops shuttered their doors, including the only reason for ever going into the shithole - Boswells.

It seems a complete mystery to them that Oxford City residents simply cannot keep the city businesses open alone, and they will actually have to let outsiders in....

And people aint going to go their for a day's shopping and have to suffer the (crap) park and ride, and getting mown down by cyclists who have their own rules in Oxford.  They will just go to somewhere like Milton Keynes instead. Drive, park, shop, drive away.

Next year will be catastrophic for many businesses, on the upside there will be bargains to be had for the more " affluent" amongst us

Do all the clean air zones across the country have the same rules? 

IE: If I have a car that's exempt from charges in Bristol, then it will be exempt in Bath, Oxford, Londinium etc etc?

Most are more or less in line with each other, but probably will diverge with time.

Londonium and Oxford are notable differences now or very soon.

This is pretty much what I posted on the other thread a few days back.    The Clarendon Centre doesn’t have one single shop open in it now and Westgate has over fifty empty premises, yet the council still want to commit City Suicide by charging to enter the shit hole, ramping up parking charges and having their own private Lockdown in the near future. 
They will hit their target of zero emissions, as nobody will bother going there. Just in case anyone was uncertain, I don’t like Oxford City Centre.

Cars over 40 years old are ULEZ exempt so you can get a 1983 Vauxhall Carlton with carburettors and no catalyst and that'll be fine

Be great walking round city centres & watching a free classic car show.
