[Deleted Member]

could it be cheaper to hire a lpg or other vehicle that gets in free Euro 4 emissions or whatever they are?

It wasn't the congestion charge that was bothering me really!!£8 not a lot!! but the £30 per day parking charge!!

When we went down a few years ago parking on some meters was free on Saturday afternoons and on Sundays, not so sure now ? 8O

Also isn't congestion charge free on Sundays ?
We were down in the Mav last August went through centre on a Sunday no charge.. :smile: :smile:

Certainly I prefer the train, if there are only one or two people.
I wonder when Birmingham will face the same charging system...? 8O

From the article we 2.7 TDs made before March 2001 won't be affected ...

see below..

What about other cars?
The majority of cars, in bands C, D, E and those in F with emissions up to 225g/km, as well as those registered before March 2001 with engines up to and including 3,000cc, will continue to pay the same daily charge of £8.

Rustic - where did you read this?

Emission charges

Really annoys me as people just take in all that is printed or voiced in media about 4x4 drivers and gas guzzler rubbish. Why don't they mention all other cars with 2.4 engines and above why victimise 4x4 owners seems like everyone always wants a scapegoat to pick on.
