(1) EVs are subject after year 1 to the same base level of VED as anything else = £200pa. If VED is what you meant. (2) Rates are high in my illustration. They are just to illustrate the principle. Here is another calculation - for illustration only - based on the same data (first year...

I don't disagree, but it all depends on how "nuanced" you want to go, accepting that nuances typically bring cost and complexity. I could go a step further: if I need (or want) to travel from the East of Sheffield (to use a local example) to anywhere on or via the A57 into Derbyshire, I have...

I'm starting a separate thread on the subject of Motoring Taxes so as to split away the continued discussion on this away from the more general EVs thread. That sub-discussion has already drifted away from EVs specifically. This is prompted by the stated government intention to replace lost...

I believe you can do exactly as SargeNpton says. Start > Add or Remove Programs ... find Co Pilot and uninstall. Pretty sure that's what I did and I see no evidence of it being here on my Win11 Home system here.

I'd contend that it is ethical. The more such events cost the railway real money, perhaps the greater consideration might be given to properly investing so as to minimise or lose altogether the "single point of failure" that is frequently behind such events. What is required in my opinion is...

If buying new, also consider Kia EV4. It's pretty similar in size/shape; the design is something of a Marmite thing with very unconventional headlights. It's a shade cheaper new rrp and from a quick scan if the VW specs, very slightly better equipped (unless I missed something). I just got my...

and for comparison, a "through" scan on my Canon of a 35mm slide.

I think that if you are going to use a conventional* flatbed scanner to scan a transparency then you are unlikely to get good results. Despite what was said earlier, if there are paper prints available, these will probably be a better choice. First: Transparencies really need to have a light...

True, but I'd suggest that we do not ever want to get into a situation where those who do not choose to, or cannot (for whatever reason) use a device are subject to greater probability of penalty or risk even. And the same goes for those who do use a device and whose device lets them down at a...

I have in the past spoken directly, face to face, to a member of Northern's management (I'm not giving his name here) who promised that something would be done. That was a few years ago. There was an absolute promise that on-train personnel would be immediately directed to take exactly such a...

The foot crossing at my local station is via a road level crossing adjacent. The sole TVM is - adjacent to the small car park - adjacent to the busier platform - across from the most likely place where pedestrians and bus passengers would arrive - and across (of course) from the less busy...

and the availability of CHAdeMO outlets is not as widespread as what has pretty much become the defacto standard CCS. There may be adaptors available, though.

and if you need a loaner while it's having something done to it, you'll likely get another EV rather than some bottom-of-the-range petrol manual (that you have to fuel yourself ££). I guess the same would be necessarily true at Tesla.

Dealers and mfgs don't typically push "MPG" on EVs - something they do/did headline with ICEs. They push range. If longer range is provided solely by a bigger battery then it makes no comment on efficiency. For me, that is a factor, just as it would be if I were ICE shopping. I believe the...

No sympathy here. What they should have done many years ago is embraced EVs rather than tolerating them. Not bastardising conventional car designs to shoehorn EV components in (the most externally visible thing being a flat slab where the radiator grille would have been) but investing properly...

Alternate headline: Government backs down to lazy and greedy industry executives

5 intermediate stations between Sheffield and Worksop: Darnall, Woodhouse, Kiveton Bridge, Kiveton Park, Shireoaks.

Does his scanner scan transparencies and negatives? They have to be specially equipped for this purpose, especially with a backlight to shine through rather than on the film. If yes, then I'd recommend going straight to those negatives and slides, and not using any prints. I used ~3000dpi for...

East Midlands Rover 3 in 7 (headline price 116.10) would let you do all of this - and the same again or something different on two other days alongside. Just in case you might choose to stretch your adventure to include one or two other outings.

How much genuinely leisure travel by over 60s begins before 0930, and importantly perhaps, how much such travel would not occur at all were such a limitation in place given either (a) an effectively worthless All-Line Rover outside the London area or (b) an effectively 50% uplift in other fares...
