So you have been forced to fit emission control units to your cabs that dont work, or go to the expense of changeing the cab altogether for feck all
Time to serve a writ against that barsteward Livingston and get him into court me thinks to get your money back

Yes and No.

The flag fall won't change, but the 'emission charge' will end.

Confused? :?

The overall fare increase is'nt anything to write home about, I think the average works out at about 2%.

Still, for February, I can't say i've seen much evidence of this approaching recession.

My mate had an FX, he had a choice, fit a convertor or get a new cab, he bought a brand new, meets the latest emmisions TX, guess what?, the TX costs more in road tax!!!!.
I own an ex army land rover 2.5 diesel, from 2010 I have to pay the low emmision zone charge of £100 per day, i'm going to put a petrol engine in it which means its less fuel efficent but I won't have to pay the emmisions charge. The whole emmisions/climate change thing is just an excuse to get more money out of you.
