In
preparation for the 2012 London Olympics, Transport for London
(the London Highways Authority) has introduced a Low Emission
Zone (LEZ).
TfL says the aim of the scheme is to improve air quality in the city by
deterring the most polluting vehicles from driving in the area.
The vehicles affected by the LEZ are diesel-engined lorries,
buses, coaches, large vans, minibuses and other heavy vehicles
such as horse boxes.
Vehicles that do not meet 'Euro 4' emissions standards
must pay a £200 Daily Charge to enter the Capital,
similar to the Congestion Charge.
This effects any coach built before 2006; coaches built before
this date have to have special modifications made to meet this
higher standard.
Please be reassured that, unlike some unscrupulous operators, we
will include this charge in the cost of your coach hire.
The price we quote is the price you pay,
there are no hidden extras!

area please
