covers over 100 sq km of central and inner London

Thanks. There is no way this is a 50% increase in area covered! It looks
around a third to me.

The blurb says London has the second largest such scheme in Europe -
presumably Paris being in pole position.

Just had a horrible thought... Fockstons, er sorry, Foxtons becoming the
new sponsor of the scheme... shiver!


What's wrong with Foxtons? I have enjoyed their Mini liveries for years.
