TIt is now two weeks and two days since Ulez came into force and its purpose is commendable, you can certainly smell London as you approach the M25 from the sticks.
The main thrust of criticism is the lack of public transport on the outskirts of the capital. Mayor Khan claims to have solved this issue with the Superloop stating:
The Superloop is the jewel in the crown in our plans to strengthen alternatives to the private car ahead of the ULEZ expanding London-wide and is a game changer for outer London.
So given we in Havering have seen no new buses, I thought I’d compare Harry Beck’s early map that I grew up with the ‘improved’ network to see what additional rail links have been added some 70 years later.

No Victoria Line, Jubilee Line, London Overground, Waterloo & City Line, DLR, or Elizabeth Line, in fact, no new routes or extensions to existing lines, just the charging zones added.

Ulez extension, a 20mph urban limit (with fines and points) in all of Wales, Labour proposing to charge every driver ‘Per mile’ if they get in. (Presumably with a tracker in your car or millions of cameras) It is all just income generation, disguised as ‘safety’, and ‘clean air’. Part of the thinking behind it is also to restrict the travel of people who cannot afford to pay, like keeping sheep in pens. The cameras serve another purpose of course. They track the movement of every registered vehicle, so in the Big Brother sense, they know where you are at any given time. Take your money, control your movement, it is Deep State out in the open.
The rich and powerful are unaffected, naturally.
Cheers, Pete.
