It said this plan is going to cost 90 million the other day. 90 million could have upgraded a lot of vehicles.

Made a driver redundant today, another one going early March. They both drive specialist vehicles which should have a life span of 10 years+.
We will now only be sending 44 ton trucks to London, which take up twice the road space, are around 20% less efficient in fuel consumption and cost more to buy. They cost more to maintain, insure and man.
In addition to a fuel surcharge we imposed on our customers in September, we have now introduced a London weighting of 8% on any freight into or out of London.
Your North/ South divide has just got a lot bigger.
