Yeah for the ULEZ! There’s a BBC London Youtube video which people might find instructive too… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqPMm525rz4
Let’s hear it for the proposed Mersyrail battery ( Presumably with “charging” at the endpoints? ) trains.
Definitely the way to go, much better than hydrogen-vapour-ware.

Could be a complete game-changer for rail transport.
