This was soon after it was implemented though. Do you have a reference for an update?

Seems I spoke too soon. Found it on Wiki.
I haven't read much yet but there seems to be mixed feelings as to it's effectiveness and side effects.

I think congestion charging is an excellent idea.
People respond to incentives, and congestion charging offers a clear incentive not to travel during peak traffic periods.

As an example of how at odds the regional and city councils are, and how fuck the city council is... WCC wants to start charging people for parking at the park and ride car parks at the railway stations.
Way to encourage people to use the train.

Having a congestion charge in London has reduced traffic and it is a better place to visit now. The only problem is if you are just visiting and you don't know how to get the congestion pass before entering London.
The carpool lane system in the US works and is an alternative to congestion charge!
So long as they seriously improve public trasnport then a congestions system should not be too intrusive.

What have you found? The same old fears.

I think its a good idea, the problem isnt getting any better by doing nothing.

I'm all for it. And it will probably be much more efficient than the inner city bypass. Ahem, wasn't the bypass supposed to get rid of traffic congestion? How much did it cost again?
Good point, although I'm not sure it would work so easily here with the local driving attitude.
