London pollution & ULEZ

[b0rn2sk8]

As much as the tube is a huge asset for London, much of it needs a complete rebuild to deal with the Victorian legacy.

You only have to spend 3 minutes on the likes of the Jubilee line or the Elizabeth line to realise the central line just needs to be binned and rebuilt. It’s beyond modernisation at this point.

Same with most of the underground lines

Well yes, they were mostly built in the Victorian era. I only singled out the central line because it also has the heat issue and zero ventilation shafts.

ULEZ is in place to take more from the tax payer, it has never been about people's health.

Thats funny, report says otherwise. You'd almost think people fell for right wing "muh freedomz to pollute everywhere" propaganda, wouldn't you.

Ulez helped London cut road pollution faster than rest of UK, report says

Exclusive: Sadiq Khan hails ‘remarkable progress’ on air quality, with NO2 pollutants lower last year than in lockdown year of 2020

Quite. Seems an odd thing to say when 95% of the cars are Ulez compliant

Nine in 10 cars meet ULEZ standards in expanded zone

However, that falls to 86% of vans entering London’s ULEZ meeting the required emissions standards.
