For those of you who don’t know or care Transport for London, I’m presuming these are the guys who run the transport system in London although you never know, is about to introduce congestion charging. London has without doubt one of the worst transport systems in Europe as anyone who has visited any other major city in Europe can testify. Years of under investment by governments of all flavours have made travelling around London, apart from about 45 minutes just after lunch, a test of patience, diplomacy and sheer bloody mindedness. During the day it will now cost £5 a day to drive your four wheeled vehicular convenience into the centre of the capital. As you can imagine this has kicked of a storm of protest, but in the absence of any other ideas even divisive ones like this need consideration. Something has to be done and it would be a typically British thing to do nothing until London was one big car park, some would say it’s almost that now. On occasion making a bad decision is better than making no decision at all.
