Splitting off ULEZ into a new article

The ULEZ section is fairly big, and there is more content which could go in there - I think it's more than big enough to justify its own article, especially considering it also has a section in London low emission zone. Thoughts? Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 08:13, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2002-2018 update: speeds have gone down, delays have gone up

Figures for 2002-2008:

http://content.tfl.gov.uk/central-london-congestion-charging-impacts-monitoring-sixth-annual-report.pdf - page 57. Congestion declined from 2002 to 2003, but by 2007 congestion rose above 2002 levels.

Figures for 2008-2018:

http://content.tfl.gov.uk/total-vehicle-delay-for-london-2014-15.pdf (2008-2015)
https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/streets-performance (2011-2018)
http://content.tfl.gov.uk/street-performance-report-quarter2-2017-2018.pdf (2014-2018)

The Wikipedia article cuts off at 2012 and misinforms the reader "this trend towards slower traffic movement has ceased and traffic speeds have remained more stable". This is not the case. Speeds are going down year-over-year and delays are going up. Except for 2003-2006 and 2012, congestion has gone up year-over-year since the introduction of the congestion charge. The article should reflect this. ForgotMyAccountName (talk) 18:30, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Operations and Technology

This currently says "Since 2009, IBM has been responsible for the day-to-day operation of the charging system". In fact, Capita regained the contract in 2014. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.69.109.214 (talk) 09:25, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
