Inspired by Singapore's Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system after London officials had travelled to the country, the charge was first introduced on 17 February 2003.

Very little concerning travel….and all bad

Ernest Mach who put his name to the speed of sound died (1916)….and flight IB610 crashed killing all 148 on board. Cause was pit down to pilot error (1985)
