This gem from the "Brighton & Hove Independent": ELECTRIC BUS FINED FOR GOING THROUGH LOW EMISSION ZONE..An electric bus being driven to a low-carbon vehicle conference was fined for going through a low emission zone – despite being emission free. The Brighton bus company faced a fine £1,800 because a Government database had not been updated to class the formerly diesel bus as electric. Despite the intervention of former transport minister Norman Baker – who was the managing director of the bus company at the time – the battle went on for ten months. It was only after the Brighton & Hove Independent flagged up the matter with Transport for London (TfL) yesterday (Thursday) that it agreed to scrap the charge.

Red tape morons strike again

You really couldn't make it up!

The company involved are run by a green Councillor and the ex Liberal minister, of all the bus companies in the country these fellas are the most green and environmental you will find.

As alluded to above red tape gone mad, and it really miffs me off.
