Even in my normal middle class street there are quite a few pre 2000
vehicles.

I think it's only old diesels that are affected. Small old cars are rarely
diesels.

Is it only diesels? Yes, there will be fewer of them about except for transits
which seem to go on forever.

Much newer diesels than petrol-engined cars will be subject to the charge:

Will be interesting to see if Kahn intends to apply this rule to buses, some
of which are knocking on a bit out in the suburbs where old buses go to die.

Just curious, why do you call him "Kahn"?

Yes, coaches TfL buses are also affected:

Quote:

"By 2020, all double-decker TfL buses operating in central London will be
hybrid and all single-decker buses will be zero emission (at point of use).
This means a substantial number of double-decker buses operating in inner
London will be hybrid, as will many in outer London

We will progressively increase the number of these buses. From 2020 only
buses of this type will be allowed to operate on routes in the ULEZ"
