How much did London’s Ulez cameras earn from drivers?


Listen Later

It’s been one month since the launch of London’s expanded Ultra Low Emission Zone - and we examine how much cash has been generated as part of Mayor Sadiq Khan’s flagship pollution-fighting scheme. 

About £26 million has been generated from more than 57,000 daily vehicles - but what’s the extra money being spent on?

Transport for London says the Ulez expansion has cut the number of older, more polluting vehicles driven by nearly half, and reduced the overall amount of traffic.

The £12.50-a-day levy for vehicles not meeting emissions requirements is enforced by a network of surveillance cameras ringing the capital - and Ulez refuseniks can expect a £180 fine.

Plus, transport news extra with the latest on the government’s railway ticket office closures u-turn, with the Standard’s transport editor Ross Lydall.
