To do with cutting jobs - theyre 'consulting' now, so may be able to do a u-turn

Yes sad to see but I imagine that a lot of people have cut back on their usage due to cost of living increases

We used a lot when the DC were young living in London - super convenient and much better than owning a car

Apparently its really expensive now

I realised i haven't used it in 6 years tbh, so didnt realise!

Sad

Gutted. I live in central london and was going to go back to it having experimented again with car ownership and realising how pointless it is.

I'd recommend a cheap small electric one for trips to the supermarket and ikea xx

I live in CC zone. It takes fucking ages to drive anywhere.

I have to force myself to drive my petrol car regularly to keep battery alive. Electric would be a disaster.

But I do like a car for the odd trip to ikea. At this rate a taxi will be more cost effective!!
