They have bought 9 buses from Edinburgh that were Hybrids and therefore eligible for use in the CAZ. However, it would appear that Edinburgh have removed the hybrid system as it was unreliable so what is left is a Euro5 vehicle that is not compliant. ooops. Ooops indeed. However, from my observations of the 218, which runs past my window, they are still using the usual mix of old (presumably not Cat6), and the odd much newer ones.

Exactly, the deckers they use on there are euro 3, I believe one or two of their fleet are euro 6 but thats all. 3 minutes ago, RollingJ said: The "new" deckers are not in use yet, you would like to think they are re-instating the hybrid system first . . . . . .

One would imagine they will be updating the 'new' ones but ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Shaw Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 As to the A61 Ring Road boundary of the CAZ, whyever is the A61 itself included in the CAZ? The whole point of the CAZ is to deter heavy polluters from the City Centre. And the whole point of a ring road is, er, to route heavy polluters away from the City Centre. But the A61 is unavailable as a ring road if heavy polluters are penalised for its use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrotequila Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 7 hours ago, busdriver1 said: Since cars are currently exempt a bit of a moot point really. Mind there are plenty people seeing the signs that dont explain this so avoiding the area. Except with the London CCZ, which is the most well known and what most people would associate with when they see signs relating to a CAZ charge, so in general people would assume that charges would apply to everyone.
