I'd be better off if drivers were charged per mile as I drive so little, but that's by the by. Surely if the changes encourage some people to wallk rather than drive it's a good thing? Parents doing the school run, when the school's in walking distance is a prime example. London has congestion charges but it is still quicker to use public transport than to drive.

As for the journey between Glasgow and Edinburgh, give me the train any day. The M8 is scarier than any roller coaster.
