Dive into the heart of London’s transport debate with “Superloop vs. Electric Car: Epic London Challenge | Full Route Comparison!” Launched in July 2023, the Superloop bus service was introduced by Transport for London and the London Mayor to enhance connectivity in outer London.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt delivered his budget today (6 March 2024), probably the last budget before the General Election (and of the current Conservative Government?) – so what was in it for the motorist? Good news or bad. What seems like positive news, keeping the freeze on fuel duty, a closer examination by the RAC reveals, it’s not all as great as it seems.
Six months on from the expansion of ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) to cover the whole of London, in August 2023 and the London Mayor still hasn’t released impact data to prove that it’s improved the air quality in the expanded zones. And it won’t be released until after the elections in May 2024. However, I shot two videos last year, taking an ELITECH Temptop air quality meter around London, covering firstly the previous ULEZ zone in part 1 and the proposed area of expansion in Part 2. This means I can directly compare my findings today, six months on from the expansion to the data I had before, to see if there has been any improvement in air quality. This is what I do in this video. And the results may surprise you – they certainly astonished me!
These little 15-second videos have proved very popular. So I’ve compiled them all here. How many can you guess correctly? Combined they have got over 50,000 views on YouTube along. Plus another 52k plus across my Instagram accounts, about 55,000 on TikTok – so more than 157,000 in total!
