This video should be forwarded to all London Assembly members,and to all groups who are opposing LTN in their areas. It shows ,quite clearly,that the whole ULEZ programme is a complete scam,not about pollution,but about a money making scheme.
What a surprise. Of course it’s a scam, another cash grab under the guise of health and safety. As cars now have lower emissions than 20 + years ago anyone living in London in the 70’s to 90’s for instance should now be seriously I’ll or dead from the toxic fumes. The whole scam is a load of bollocks.

Ironically, if people have to use the train because ULEZ forces them out of their car then their health will suffer because the air pollution will be worse..
So whomever sponsors and implements such a policy could be responsible for causing even more deaths. Put a mask on ... Still interested to see if masks reduce the particulates...
I checked buses, trains, shops and restaurants in north hertfordshire and each time mostly good on everything but near freezer section of supermarkets the particulates change higher but, worse ever is neighbours cannabis, bbq and smoking comes into my bedroom and everything goes unhealthy
One thing I've learnt in recent years is that "the science" is whatever is convenient at any particular point and has nothing to do with actual scientific methodology or thinking.
Freedom of information request showed that between 2001 & 2021, the was one recorded death in London from poor air quality. That case related to a young child who had asthma and other complications. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
If you pay the fee though, it means that the pollution from your car simply disappears and turns into rose petal vapour, this is definitely not about the easy target motorist.😊🇬🇧
If you get under the flight path of planes that are taking off, you will get much higher readings because the engines will be at full throttle. ULEZ compliant cars driving underneath, though, will not reduce it. 😉
This is about control, cameras that track every move I believe this is more about charging by the mile using climate change as an excuse, remember this when digital currency comes in ,
💯💯💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 That is why I say its a scam if its to clean the air then no vuicle should allowed in London that have high pollution NO money can wipe it away 🤦🏾♂️
@@davideyres955 That argument wears a little thin after 13 years of allegedly conservative rule. The State has never been bigger' taxes have never been higher. If the only argument that the Conservative Party has is "the other side will be worse" then it has no business forming a Government at all. In a properly functioning democracy, the electorate has a proper choice between two or more different visions of the nation's future. We do not live in a properly functioning democracy when neither major party has a reason to exist, a product to sell or a vision to work towards. We live in a kleptocracy with two criminal gangs competing against each other for the nation's silver.

The most important factor was the exhaust emissions as it showed with my truck the emissions are not justifying the ULEZ. It’s a cover up on he’s own pollution.
I'm surprised that all the major media outlets haven't done this level of research or it's completely skipped me. Excellent piece of real journalism that unfortunately doesn't see the light of day but affects so many people :(
The media in the UK are owned by a few major corporations. Those corporations have thrown their lot in with the "climate emergency" crap. Why? Because they own other businesses which soak up Government subsidies for snake oil "green" projects. What we are helplessly witnessing is the largest transfer in human history of wealth from the relatively poor to the already obscenely wealthy. Our poltiicians serve corporate and WEF interests, not the public. And THAT is why the mainstream media do not want to look too closely at what is really happening. Their shareholders are venture capital firms like BlackRock or billionaires with fingers in many pies, most of them dependent on stealing money from the public via taxes. Look at your electricity bill: over 25% of it is direct subsidy to the "green" movement. They keep promising us cheap, clean energy. Rubbish. Renewables only works if heavily subsidised so we will pay through the nose forever more or until we collectively put a stop to it.
@@rallycrosscraig oils you provide some evidence of that please because given the Tories essentially control the BBC, I would have thought they would be producing negative ULEZ stories.
If the future rail strikes go ahead in a few weeks time, it would be interesting to compare the readings when trains are running "normally", and when they are parked up during the period of the strikes. Keep up the great work and providing us all with this information.
@@jamingaming9251no the bulk of them are electric on the underground, however the particulates are generated by friction linings in brakes or the metal on metal of the wheels on the tracks.
@@simonelliott5956 Yes I've heard that EVs produce about 50% of these dangerous particulates that ICE cars do. The difference with the underground is that there is nowhere for these particulates to go in those enclosed tunnels. I will actually avoid the underground after learning this. I'd be curious to see a comparison with overground trains.
So what I'm seeing is - that the real problems are tube stations & trains. It appears that the mayor is just trying to cover up his own failings on reducing pollution of the transport entities he's in charge of.
Soo , when planes are waiting to launch , then going full thrust for take off run , I can’t be the only one in Bedfont who can taste the emissions, and also wipe the black soot off there windscreen,

@@HeliBoyVR He's using the same/similar measuring technology to the official monitoring station. Science is going out and testing someone claims/hypothesis' and coming to the same conclusion, is it not? Amateur or institution doesn't matter, or are you saying science in school is a waste of time because it's at a novice/basic level? In fact this amateur test is more accurate to real world, he did readings in various places and environments and not relying on modelling data. Raw real-time data. Not a computed estimate/prediction.
In the 50s we lived in Birmingham literally behind a small factory that had a forge. You could see the dust in the air. Then we moved to Nottingham, chest disease capital of England. The pea soupers were legendary with all the industry in the Tent valley. My dad used to talk about getting the train to London back then abd literally the sky darkened with "the smoke" as you approached through Watford. Air quality is much better now, indeed the whole quality of life is better. We need to stop these attacks on our way of life.
Brown Car Guy, you are a legend. These videos should be shown on the TV for everyone to see what lies we are being told. Mind you I've never believed the lie that thousands of people are dying each year do to vehicle emissions.
You haven't worked that out for yourself? London LEZ was first mooted 2003, it's not khan, he just being paid mega bucks to bring it in - in line with WEF, WHO agenda.
Don't bank on it the courts and the judges are all bent and on the take. If khan ULEZ plan is upheld then this goes to show that what i am saying is true Fact. Then this confirms that the Judicial system is crooked after all the evidence that high tech scientific instruments are proving that there is nothing wrong with the air quality in inner London and surrounding areas are clean and pose no threat to humans.
I live near Manchester airport and walk around the perimeter fence while walking my dogs and you can smell and taste the aviation fuel in the air but they won’t me to get rid of my car.
An idea for a bonus round- measure the air quality indexes of boroughs right outside London- Particularly Dartford in Kent, Brentwood in Essex as well as Epsom, Esher & Thames Ditton in Surrey. Stack them up with your finding within London and see what you've got!
Interesting point about the origin of particulates. Why penalise older ICE cars if the particulates come from the friction materials: clutch, tyres and brakes. All the elements of 'public transport solutions', too - particularly those in enclosed spaces, i.e. the Underground.
Very good point, I just wanted to comment myself, perhaps a lot of those particulates are from bake dust stopping such a heavy train in a enclosed space , multiplied by many different lines and all being moved around ? Not sure what braking system they now use, perhaps it's electric ? Not sure myself but that would explain a lot !
Well done Shaz. As usual spot on. . All was needed is an honest man, pasionate about cars, and a little air pollution metre to prove the mayor is wrong.
Wow, this video was an eye-opener! As someone who has always been concerned about air pollution, your investigation into London's proposed expanded ULEZ Zone had me hooked from the beginning. Taking readings from various locations, including busy roads, your own classic BMW, a park, and even under the flight path of Heathrow Airport, you really went above and beyond to showcase the true state of air quality. But what truly shocked me were the readings from trains and train stations! It's unbelievable how the numbers contradict the narrative of abandoning cars and relying solely on public transport. This is a must-watch for anyone living in or visiting London. Thanks for shedding light on this crucial issue and providing us with the facts. And a big thanks for sharing the link to the Brent IKEA official Air Quality Monitor live results and the discount code for the ELITech Air Monitoring device! You're doing an amazing job, and I can't wait for more insightful content like this.
I've known from many years ago when I was a teenager in the 1980's, that after extensive travel on the underground, that the air was dirty, because whenever I blew my nose their would be black matter exposed on to the tissue.
Great video Shaz, can you possibly send it to the London Assembly as a lot of us have said? he is going to court tomorrow, maybe could be used during the court proceeding and be a positive evidence in our case
Thank you for these videos, confirms what people hoped was true, i will make one point that is always over shadowed by the phase "its a money making scheme", i use to say the same but have actually thought about the cost involved to put ulez on, the cameras, the staff, the charge systems, the banking charges and the advertising all expensive its more a money wasting scheme as theres no way it will pay for itself even if every driver drove as normal and paid as they want you too. Its all about legacy and being the man who saved london which is bs. Kahn wants to compete with johnson and what he achieved and it wont happen, the guys toxic and needs to be sacked over this whole debacle
Brilliant analysis of the pure drivel that gets spouted by our elected politicians. Thank you sir for producing such high quality content, your videos are a breath of fresh air 😝
Brilliant work! I really hope your vid gets out to newspapers also. Although the Evening Standard won't want to know as they're part of the conspiracy.
Yet again another great video as to the corruptness of the ULEZ. I have just purchased one of the ELITech units. I am going to do a comparrison with the dodgy air that fills the Los Angeles basin. As well as the fresh air up at Lake Tahoe. I will post my findings on my return in early August. Might even do some sample readings from here in Milton Keynes. Thanks for all you do Shaz.
Brilliant video. The London underground has loads of air vents belching out stale air - all at street level. What are the air quality levels like near these vents? I checked the official web site and noted one sensor is showing 500, and it's located in the centre of a large park in Hackney! Two other sensors were showing above 100 and are near Tube stations!
The mines had better filtration 60 yrs ago then the poxy dangerous london underground Butt they still closed the mines and now look at the shit this country is in.
It’s a crying shame that in a so called democracy with free press that he has not been held responsible for the misinformation that he keeps spouting. Well done you for a fair and balanced assessment of these issues.
Maybe people are not aware but car brake shoes and all the brake shoes on trains/tubes etc used to be made from asbestos. The people that are probably most affected by toxic air are the underground staff above and below ground including all the engineering/maintainence staff days/nights. You should also try your device at Mainline stations in the capital.
Many thanks for all your hard work in producing these videos. On the strength of Part One, I placed an order for the LKC-1000S+ 2nd, and look forward to doing my own testing. I live in Epsom which is just outside the ULEZ, and if I turn left at the bottom of my road, I'm in the clear. But, if I turn right, I'll soon enter ULEZ at Chessington. One of my daughters lives in Sutton (in ULEZ) and I'll still be visiting her in my, non-compliant Beemer! We know that the whole farce is about money and nothing to do with, alleged, pollution. Armed with my monitor I'll gather my own data, and produce it if I'm ever issued a fine by Khan's cronies. I've subscibed to your channel and will play catch-up on your other vids. Thanks again for your excellent work 👍
@@rallycrosscraig I will certainly be sharing my results. The monitor arrived this morning and I'm not only impressed with the unit itself, but also the speedy service. I placed the order on Sunday, it arrived today and was tracked from dispatch to delivery! I've got a busy couple of days ahead, but hope to start monitoring Friday or Saturday.
Q = If all MOT`s include an exhaust emissions test and cars pass that test.What does that mean when those same cars don`t comply with Ulez requirements? If the Governments Dept. (DVSA) Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency who run MOT`s says your car is safe, how can the mayor say different. One of them must be wrong.
The DVLA and the Ministry of Transport are run by corrupt people. We all know that the minister of transport for the UK is Mark Harper and a ardent supporter of cyclists . This has to be a conflict of interest to the motorist.
So surely if we are being encouraged to use public transport we would have a potential compensation claim in the future as it’s clearly the most unhealthy place to be. Love your content and keep up the great work.
Nice that the air quality monitoring station is right next to Ikea car park where a bet you get lots of standing traffic, skewing the figures. Makes you wonder how many air quality monitors are sited close to tube stations.
Not sure how the algorithm suggest your video to me but I'm greatful it did. I'm pro ev and thought ULEZ made sense but you've got to question the justifications based on this thorough bit of testing. Good work.
I grew up in London in the 50s. We had smogs known as pea soupers. If you blew your nose your handkerchief was black and if you ran your hand over your hair that was black too. I am now 80 and live to tell the tale. Thank you Brown car guy for showing us how clean our air is today. It would be good if these results could be given in evidence at the enquiry tomorrow.
I used to dismantle old tube trains and every internal surface was covered in black soot like dust. It came from a combination of brake dust and carbon from motors. The tube acts like a pston when a train moves along the tunnel. You can feel the wind build up long before the train enters the station
I expect that the next talking points will be about the need for better filtering in the subway stations. All the while, the anti-car movement will continue.
It would be interesting if subways in places like New York differ as you can spot the ventilation sections of there subway systems on many streets in the city.
They had their chance to spend money on filtering, instead they spend it on trivial matters as well as a defective signal system in Central London which breaks down more times than reasonable- all while not allowing train drivers to manually override signal failures and drive the train themselves(like in the old days)! I'm all for improving TFL, BUT they already had the funds to do so, and they mismanaged it!
I'll keep it simple - Sir, you are now officially a legend. I would love to take your results and have a 'quiet and personal' chat with Mr Khan. Spread the word.
Love what you are doing, makes complete sense. Amazes me that the Mayor of London ever managed to get this through. This feels like pure hypocrisy and corruption on his part. Keep doing what you are doing and spreading the word. Live long and prosper.
Shocking , underground workers are having their health damaged everyday , how can that be allowed , Why isn't Khan worried about their health , TFL have a duty of care towards their employees .
One man does the science in front of our eyes, and we can do it ourselves with a £100 gadget if we don't believe him. Thank you Brown Car Guy - great videos as always.
Absolutely love it.....killing the pollution myths.....I was reading something the other day regarding cruise ships and aeroplanes,,the pollution machines....and now trains
They are being paid to promote EV's. I stopped buying and watching videos from the likes of Autocar, Top Gear Magazine etc for that reason. Even channels like CarWow and Late Brake show promote EV's more over internal combustion hybrid cars.
Ulez is about a person exercising his power over our daily life to cause us grief. It is about somebody going beyond the remit of their role. As you have proven; it is the underground that is the danger and buses. I have an 18 year old car which still passes the emissions test. Many years ago it was possible to open windows on trains and buses but now they are virtually sealed units which is wrong.
I stumbled upon your part 1 video, watched it, was shocked!!! tuned in for part 2 and shocked even more. ULEZ (and the expansion of it) is noting but a cash cow for Government, we all know this, but what is more shocking, is that your two videos are not being shown on every news station. Well done sir, keep up the good work.
These videos are eye opening and agree that the ULEZ programme and certainly shows it is not about pollution. The biggest pollution is not above ground, but underground.
I still can't understand why my cars emissions pass the MOT test and it's considered safe to use. And yet khan has given us another standard to abide by! Surely he doesn't have that much power 😡
Brilliant pair of vids, Shahzad. I bet there will be a few more meters available soon to give a comprehensive test of the readings you are getting, so should put the nay sayers to rest. As mentioned below, The London Assembly should be made aware of your findings. Keep on keeping on.
I think the readings are higher inside the car when it is stationary, probably when the car is moving and their is airflow through the car interior from the vents then the levels within the car should be acceptable.
Very well researched and informative content as usual Shahzad! Just to add to all of this incase it helps anyone, I own a 1998 model year car and there seems to be some uncertainty regarding late 90s cars and their compliancy with ULEZ. My car is a Mercedes, and I wrote to MB UK with my findings ref NOx emission standards, and to see the status of my car. My e-mail stated that there is a car same model as mine (although post 2000 - so it all makes sense) for sale advertised as ULEZ exempt, and upon checking, it actually is - but I did say I understand this being a 'glitch' which further makes the whole thing confusing. Below is the very informative response from MB, from a well respected member of the homologation team: Hi The answer to your question - does my car meet the NOx emission standard? - is Mercedes-Benz doesn’t know! I have checked your E 55 AMG built in 1998 and I can confirm that it only meets the Euro 2 Emission Standard. Euro 2 cars were not tested for NOx output as this didn’t become mandatory until the Euro 3 standard was introduced in 2001. Therefore as your car only meets the Euro 2 Emissions Standard and there isn’t any Nox data available, it will be subject to the ULEZ charge. TFL will not accept MOT or independent emissions tests and the Euro classification allocated when the car was new stays with the car for the life of the car. The E 55 AMG became Euro 3 from June 2000 onwards and therefore cars built after this date have NOx data and can get exemption from the ULEZ. To confirm, Mercedes-Benz UK Ltd do not have any influence over EU Regulations, UK government policy, TFL procedures or charges. But I always find it sad that I have to write this type of email for our majestic older cars. Kind regards So what this tells us, is that the same car that was built from 1998 to 2002 will only have the later models ULEZ compliant as the NOx data was only mandatory to be recorded then!! Even though the engines in both earlier and later cars is identical. It's all a joke, and charges should be pressed on those that are responsible for imposing this unjustifiable tax. I've read so much about this whole farce, but thought I'd add this here as I found nothing on the EURO 2 and EURO 3 thing (as above) on the net. So Kudos to MB for giving that info.
As someone who owns a 1998 Mercedes SL I find this situation to be utterly absurd. A vehicle that maybe compliant is deemed not to be compliant because it was never tested to determine if it is compliant. And now when determining whether a car is compliant has become quite important- TFL will refuse to consider the results of a recent compliance test - at least according to Mercedes U.K. This seems like a breach of The Human Rights Act provision that requires the right to have a fair hearing.
@@patl709 Exactly this. I've got the news on at the moment, so frustrating how much they keep pushing the cleaner air message!! with images of car exhausts, in traffic, on a cold morning so it looks like there is smog coming from only the cars 🤬
@@tejsgarageuk2830 I looked at the BBC news website this morning looking for information on the court case. Their article on the ULEZ could have been written by Khan himself so one sided was the coverage. With every City Hall claim being cited as fact and anything questioning ULEZ being treated as dubious. But then this is to be expected from this “news” outlet.
Maybe all London Underground Stations, should have Environmental Pollution Detection Devices, with public display's too. So the General Public and Passengers plus Underground Staff, know what the level of Air Pollution is at each London Underground Stations!
Or maybe each Underground Station, should be fitted with Air Pollution Detection Devices, which are linked to Public LCD Screens around each Underground Stations. So publicly showing the level of Air Pollution at any given time, so the General Public have the information to know if they are safe on the London Underground or not? While the Air Pollution levels are recorded daily, for the whole of London Underground Station Network, then published on a London Underground Website, so everyone knows which London Underground Stations are the best or worse for Air Pollution levels?.
Interesting. Catalytic converters are the main reason for the clean-ish air which you failed to mention. Older cars don't have them which is why I think they are penalised. Try testing next to your front wheels as brake dust is meant to be more lethal than exhaust.
I have a catylictic converter on my 97 starlet. and if that is true then why wont they let me install a cat to my car and measure the emissions and when it passes let me keep my older cars. I can just fit them all with cats. no issues. would be cheaper and more envirmentally friendly than scrapping all these perfectly fine cars. also it doesnt make sense a car for example my 2000 fiat seicento but when i was looking around i saw a fiat seicento of exact same model only made in 2001 and it passes the ulez. there is no difference in engine or anything. same car like for like.
The brake material from tube trains was until the early 80s asbestos. The tube system is absolutely filthy. I know because I used to work in some tube tunnels a few years ago. It would be a massive task to totally clean it. Of course a massive expense too which is probably why SK isn't making much of a thing of it
They've been fitted to all petrol cars since 1991, yet readings behind Shazam's non-cat 325i were still good. Brakes produce particulates of course, with new cars and EVs being the worst, due to increased weight.
I have two Cats on my car and have changed them both at great cost but because my car is older than 8 yrs im screwed . Khan is a thief and should be prosecuted and sent down. and any council that has followed this system should be made to pay compensation to any person that has been fined. We are not fools or money banks.
Hi Brown car guy. As a Brit who lives in Poland (a big city) I have noticed a massive difference in air quality. London has good air quality in comparison ith Polish cities. The worst reading in the tube you saw in part 1 is the norm for most cloudy winter days in Poland. I would like you to test a cloudy day in the winter where there is not much wind. This may certainly change your resaults AQI. I have also invested in 2 good qualiy air purifiing machines wih very good rated filters for my aparment. And you can massivly tell let alone taste he diffrence in the air as soon as you get home. Keep up he informaive work Ulez at cerain imes of the year may make a diffrence. but not all year round :)
Wow I would say we have all the information to take them to court and why the car manufacturers aren't saying anything is very strange. Maybe they are getting a backhand. We should take them to court and they have to explain. This stuff makes me angry. What about the boats going down the Thames River in Central London.
I’d be interested to see the readings inside a LTN and on the boundary roads where, as we know, the traffic is rapidly evaporating 🤣. And in all fairness, I’d like to see the readings in rush hour traffic where it is both much heavier and virtually stationary. Maybe taken on the approach to the Blackwall Tunnel, or on Lower Thames Street between Blackfriars and Tower of London.
@@wellwhatthen10101, I wasn’t asleep. Read my reply again. As someone who has been driving for a living in Central London for over forty years, the point I made is that the traffic in the video is not what I would describe as heavy rush hour. It’s relatively light and free flowing compared to the queuing, much heavier, slow to stationary rush hour traffic I regularly encounter on the two routes I mention, and I’d be interested to see the AQI and particulate readings for those situations.

So to reduce pollution you need to use your car and stay away from the dirty underground. Sadique should address this problem immediately.
Rather, he should be sued for wasting millions of peoples vehicles affected apparently
The HSE, Health & Safety Executive, should report on the use of the Tube before ULEZ is finalised. The policy could harm people.
There is loads of asbestos dust in the underground, my friend used to take readings at 3.30 am when most had settled in order to meet safety criterea.

The media in the UK are owned by a few major corporations. Those corporations have thrown their lot in with the "climate emergency" crap. Why? Because they own other businesses which soak up Government subsidies for snake oil "green" projects. What we are helplessly witnessing is the largest transfer in human history of wealth from the relatively poor to the already obscenely wealthy. Our poltiicians serve corporate and WEF interests, not the public.
And THAT is why the mainstream media do not want to look too closely at what is really happening. Their shareholders are venture capital firms like BlackRock or billionaires with fingers in many pies, most of them dependent on stealing money from the public via taxes.
Look at your electricity bill: over 25% of it is direct subsidy to the "green" movement. They keep promising us cheap, clean energy. Rubbish. Renewables only works if heavily subsidised so we will pay through the nose forever more or until we collectively put a stop to it.
The BBC certainly wouldn't do it - doesn't fit in with their propaganda.
The bbc reporters told not to report anything negative about ulez
@@rallycrosscraig oils you provide some evidence of that please because given the Tories essentially control the BBC, I would have thought they would be producing negative ULEZ stories.
If the future rail strikes go ahead in a few weeks time, it would be interesting to compare the readings when trains are running "normally", and when they are parked up during the period of the strikes. Keep up the great work and providing us all with this information.
Knowing the obsession with AI the government will replace the striking drivers with AI controlled robot automated trains
yep - diesel dust / fumes quite dirty
@@beetleything1864 are the trains diesel?
@@jamingaming9251no the bulk of them are electric on the underground, however the particulates are generated by friction linings in brakes or the metal on metal of the wheels on the tracks.
@@simonelliott5956 Yes I've heard that EVs produce about 50% of these dangerous particulates that ICE cars do. The difference with the underground is that there is nowhere for these particulates to go in those enclosed tunnels. I will actually avoid the underground after learning this. I'd be curious to see a comparison with overground trains.
So what I'm seeing is - that the real problems are tube stations & trains. It appears that the mayor is just trying to cover up his own failings on reducing pollution of the transport entities he's in charge of.
He's picking on something he can get cash from, the trains will take millions to reduce the emissions so leave it alone.
Planes are throttling down when coming in to land, I bet it changes drastically if you are under a plane taking off.😢
Quite possibly, unfortunately they changed directions on the day I went here
Totally NATURAL SKIES above you 🤔🤔🤔
Tell US ALL about that 👍
Soo , when planes are waiting to launch , then going full thrust for take off run , I can’t be the only one in Bedfont who can taste the emissions, and also wipe the black soot off there windscreen,
@@caswhitmore1400that being true, how does ULEZ help prevent it?
This just proves a point ULEZ is not about air quality, it's all about money shame on you Sadiq Khan.

In fact this amateur test is more accurate to real world, he did readings in various places and environments and not relying on modelling data. Raw real-time data. Not a computed estimate/prediction.
I have got more sense from you than all the deceitful ulez operation. You should be on tv 😊 a pleasure to view
Very kind, thank you 🙏🏽
I'd been interested to know what the air quality is around the cobalt and lithium mines in Africa 😮
The smug liberal eco-elite don't give a damn.
Who's hiding comments lol
@@p.s.w4744Google
Don't forget lithium mining is starting in Cornwall shortly
Africans don't matter. It's not as if they have small children or families like us.
Pity you can't measure the pollution of the City Smogs of the 50's and I'm still here to tell the tale, then you'd know what pollution is
This is most likely the figures Khan and the so called experts are modelling their research on.
In the 50s we lived in Birmingham literally behind a small factory that had a forge. You could see the dust in the air. Then we moved to Nottingham, chest disease capital of England. The pea soupers were legendary with all the industry in the Tent valley.
My dad used to talk about getting the train to London back then abd literally the sky darkened with "the smoke" as you approached through Watford.
Air quality is much better now, indeed the whole quality of life is better. We need to stop these attacks on our way of life.
Yeh watch out or they might close down your bank account..
Then he could play the race card to play them at their own game... 🙃🙄
Brown Car Guy, you are a legend. These videos should be shown on the TV for everyone to see what lies we are being told. Mind you I've never believed the lie that thousands of people are dying each year do to vehicle emissions.
Hopefully this get picked up by some news channels GB news should get you on.

You haven't worked that out for yourself? London LEZ was first mooted 2003, it's not khan, he just being paid mega bucks to bring it in - in line with WEF, WHO agenda.
Thank you for all your hard work.
Lets hope the judge makes the right decision in court tomorrow and stops this madness!
Don't bank on it the courts and the judges are all bent and on the take. If khan ULEZ plan is upheld then this goes to show that what i am saying is true Fact. Then this confirms that the Judicial system is crooked after all the evidence that high tech scientific instruments are proving that there is nothing wrong with the air quality in inner London and surrounding areas are clean and pose no threat to humans.
If he is not bought and paid for, yes. if he part of the woke culture, not a chance.
The tunnels in the underground are filthy the stations are cleaned but the tunnels have decades worth of filth in them.
Remember TFL has a £9 billion sized hole in its book. Nice one Sadiq Khan. Great job Brown car guy.😇
Thanks
How do we get this in the mainstream media ? I’m sure the impartial BBC would be interested !
I live near Manchester airport and walk around the perimeter fence while walking my dogs and you can smell and taste the aviation fuel in the air but they won’t me to get rid of my car.
An idea for a bonus round- measure the air quality indexes of boroughs right outside London- Particularly Dartford in Kent, Brentwood in Essex as well as Epsom, Esher & Thames Ditton in Surrey. Stack them up with your finding within London and see what you've got!
This would be good to see for us on the border of the proposed extended zone yes
@@rallycrosscraig Yes I'm just several streets away from the ULEZ border in Surrey!
Alternatively we could all buy a meter , research our own areas, and pool our data. Results should be fascinating, and much more trustworthy.
Interesting point about the origin of particulates. Why penalise older ICE cars if the particulates come from the friction materials: clutch, tyres and brakes. All the elements of 'public transport solutions', too - particularly those in enclosed spaces, i.e. the Underground.
Very good point, I just wanted to comment myself, perhaps a lot of those particulates are from bake dust stopping such a heavy train in a enclosed space , multiplied by many different lines and all being moved around ? Not sure what braking system they now use, perhaps it's electric ? Not sure myself but that would explain a lot !
Yep, and the electric vehicles weigh a Heck of a lot more than their ice counterparts. EVs wear out tyres much faster than ice vehicles.
Well done Shaz. As usual spot on. . All was needed is an honest man, pasionate about cars, and a little air pollution metre to prove the mayor is wrong.
Thank you!
Wow, this video was an eye-opener! As someone who has always been concerned about air pollution, your investigation into London's proposed expanded ULEZ Zone had me hooked from the beginning. Taking readings from various locations, including busy roads, your own classic BMW, a park, and even under the flight path of Heathrow Airport, you really went above and beyond to showcase the true state of air quality. But what truly shocked me were the readings from trains and train stations! It's unbelievable how the numbers contradict the narrative of abandoning cars and relying solely on public transport. This is a must-watch for anyone living in or visiting London. Thanks for shedding light on this crucial issue and providing us with the facts. And a big thanks for sharing the link to the Brent IKEA official Air Quality Monitor live results and the discount code for the ELITech Air Monitoring device! You're doing an amazing job, and I can't wait for more insightful content like this.
I've known from many years ago when I was a teenager in the 1980's, that after extensive travel on the underground, that the air was dirty, because whenever I blew my nose their would be black matter exposed on to the tissue.
You should produce your findings to Parliament and TFL
I look forward to seeing how Sadiq tries to explain Heathrow cancellations when ground staff can't afford to go to work... 🤔
Reduction in flights is part of the plan - it’s all coming together nicely
this needs to be taken foreward !!!
Great video Shaz, can you possibly send it to the London Assembly as a lot of us have said? he is going to court tomorrow, maybe could be used during the court proceeding and be a positive evidence in our case
Thanks for all your doing you prove that were being ripped off.... Now we need to spread the word...
Please do
Thank you for these videos, confirms what people hoped was true, i will make one point that is always over shadowed by the phase "its a money making scheme", i use to say the same but have actually thought about the cost involved to put ulez on, the cameras, the staff, the charge systems, the banking charges and the advertising all expensive its more a money wasting scheme as theres no way it will pay for itself even if every driver drove as normal and paid as they want you too. Its all about legacy and being the man who saved london which is bs. Kahn wants to compete with johnson and what he achieved and it wont happen, the guys toxic and needs to be sacked over this whole debacle
Brilliant analysis of the pure drivel that gets spouted by our elected politicians.
Thank you sir for producing such high quality content, your videos are a breath of fresh air 😝
So kind - thank you. 🙏🏽☺️
Brilliant work! I really hope your vid gets out to newspapers also. Although the Evening Standard won't
want to know as they're part of the conspiracy.
Especially that idiot Ross, what a joke of a journalist.
indeed or the BBC
Yet again another great video as to the corruptness of the ULEZ. I have just purchased one of the ELITech units. I am going to do a comparrison with the dodgy air that fills the Los Angeles basin. As well as the fresh air up at Lake Tahoe. I will post my findings on my return in early August. Might even do some sample readings from here in Milton Keynes. Thanks for all you do Shaz.
That'll be fascinating! Look forward to your findings!
Be interested mk figures family live there..
Brilliant video. The London underground has loads of air vents belching out stale air - all at street level. What are the air quality levels like near these vents? I checked the official web site and noted one sensor is showing 500, and it's located in the centre of a large park in Hackney! Two other sensors were showing above 100 and are near Tube stations!
By chance placed by the ventilation outlets for the tube?
The mines had better filtration 60 yrs ago then the poxy dangerous london underground Butt they still closed the mines and now look at the shit this country is in.
And they say levels in the park is dangerous bc of the cars. Lol
It’s a crying shame that in a so called democracy with free press that he has not been held responsible for the misinformation that he keeps spouting. Well done you for a fair and balanced assessment of these issues.
Keep up the detective work!👍
Maybe people are not aware but car brake shoes and all the brake shoes on trains/tubes etc used to be made from asbestos.
The people that are probably most affected by toxic air are the underground staff above and below ground including all the engineering/maintainence staff days/nights.
You should also try your device at Mainline stations in the capital.
Hi Shaz, great part 2 video, maybe correspond with the HSE to start an investigation on the tube network, kepp up the great work😊
Many thanks for all your hard work in producing these videos. On the strength of Part One, I placed an order for the LKC-1000S+ 2nd, and look forward to doing my own testing. I live in Epsom which is just outside the ULEZ, and if I turn left at the bottom of my road, I'm in the clear. But, if I turn right, I'll soon enter ULEZ at Chessington. One of my daughters lives in Sutton (in ULEZ) and I'll still be visiting her in my, non-compliant Beemer!
We know that the whole farce is about money and nothing to do with, alleged, pollution. Armed with my monitor I'll gather my own data, and produce it if I'm ever issued a fine by Khan's cronies. I've subscibed to your channel and will play catch-up on your other vids.
Thanks again for your excellent work 👍
Good plan
So kind of you. Let me know your findings when you get your device!
But be careful, some areas have high readings because of the M25.
I’m in the same area greet if you could share your results to this channel
@@rallycrosscraig I will certainly be sharing my results. The monitor arrived this morning and I'm not only impressed with the unit itself, but also the speedy service. I placed the order on Sunday, it arrived today and was tracked from dispatch to delivery!
I've got a busy couple of days ahead, but hope to start monitoring Friday or Saturday.
This should be presented in court.
Q = If all MOT`s include an exhaust emissions test and cars pass that test.What does that mean when those same cars don`t comply with Ulez requirements? If the Governments Dept. (DVSA) Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency who run MOT`s says your car is safe, how can the mayor say different. One of them must be wrong.
The DVLA and the Ministry of Transport are run by corrupt people. We all know that the minister of transport for the UK is Mark Harper and a ardent supporter of cyclists . This has to be a conflict of interest to the motorist.
So surely if we are being encouraged to use public transport we would have a potential compensation claim in the future as it’s clearly the most unhealthy place to be. Love your content and keep up the great work.
Nice that the air quality monitoring station is right next to Ikea car park where a bet you get lots of standing traffic, skewing the figures. Makes you wonder how many air quality monitors are sited close to tube stations.
What a result. Now we just need this to go viral. Shared in every place I can think of!
needs to be presented in court so Khant gets caught
So kind - thank you!
Not sure how the algorithm suggest your video to me but I'm greatful it did. I'm pro ev and thought ULEZ made sense but you've got to question the justifications based on this thorough bit of testing. Good work.
I’m pro-EV too, see my reviews on this channel. 🤩 I’m pro all cars! Thanks for watching!
Wow! Great video! Just walking passed the train station saw the polution rise!
Shocked me to be honest!
I grew up in London in the 50s. We had smogs known as pea soupers. If you blew your nose your handkerchief was black and if you ran your hand over your hair that was black too. I am now 80 and live to tell the tale. Thank you Brown car guy for showing us how clean our air is today. It would be good if these results could be given in evidence at the enquiry tomorrow.
I used to dismantle old tube trains and every internal surface was covered in black soot like dust. It came from a combination of brake dust and carbon from motors. The tube acts like a pston when a train moves along the tunnel. You can feel the wind build up long before the train enters the station
Thank you!
I expect that the next talking points will be about the need for better filtering in the subway stations. All the while, the anti-car movement will continue.
It would be interesting if subways in places like New York differ as you can spot the ventilation sections of there subway systems on many streets in the city.
They had their chance to spend money on filtering, instead they spend it on trivial matters as well as a defective signal system in Central London which breaks down more times than reasonable- all while not allowing train drivers to manually override signal failures and drive the train themselves(like in the old days)! I'm all for improving TFL, BUT they already had the funds to do so, and they mismanaged it!
@@jmwoods190 Elected officials spend like lottery winners. They don’t know where to start in their waste of money.
I'll keep it simple - Sir, you are now officially a legend. I would love to take your results and have a 'quiet and personal' chat with Mr Khan. Spread the word.
🙏🏽☺️
Excellent content BCG ❤ very informative and balanced very well done ❤
Much appreciated!
Love what you are doing, makes complete sense. Amazes me that the Mayor of London ever managed to get this through. This feels like pure hypocrisy and corruption on his part. Keep doing what you are doing and spreading the word. Live long and prosper.
LLAP! 🖖🏽
Shocking , underground workers are having their health damaged everyday , how can that be allowed , Why isn't Khan worried about their health , TFL have a duty of care towards their employees .
That’s why they deserve high wages !
Underground workers have a choice. People in the streets & there surrounds have less of a choice.
One man does the science in front of our eyes, and we can do it ourselves with a £100 gadget if we don't believe him. Thank you Brown Car Guy - great videos as always.
Keep up the great work, ur awesome 😎
Thanks 🙏🏽
Fantastic job! You were so thorough! Share share share everyone! Khan should be absolutely ashamed of himself!
Khan will probably move the goal posts and change the levels - sneaky B word!
Thank you so much!
Its all to do with ££££ and its not just London doing it
Absolutely love it.....killing the pollution myths.....I was reading something the other day regarding cruise ships and aeroplanes,,the pollution machines....and now trains
More evidence for the Khan court case
Very interesting research. Many thanks.
Amazing! Thank you for making this
Another great video sir 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks again!
Superb clear video why havent the car magazines done these type of articles instead of talking about EVs and extra few BHP.
They are being paid to promote EV's. I stopped buying and watching videos from the likes of Autocar, Top Gear Magazine etc for that reason. Even channels like CarWow and Late Brake show promote EV's more over internal combustion hybrid cars.
The best video so far. This needs to be on the National TV and front pages
Ulez is about a person exercising his power over our daily life to cause us grief.
It is about somebody going beyond the remit of their role.
As you have proven; it is the underground that is the danger and buses. I have an 18 year old car which still passes the emissions test.
Many years ago it was possible to open windows on trains and buses but now they are virtually sealed units which is wrong.
Public transport is what’s killing people
Great video, informative and educating. Shazad is a natural presenter and very likeable. Will share.🖖
So kind of you. Many thanks!
Another great video, this needs to be spread as a PSA
I stumbled upon your part 1 video, watched it, was shocked!!! tuned in for part 2 and shocked even more. ULEZ (and the expansion of it) is noting but a cash cow for Government, we all know this, but what is more shocking, is that your two videos are not being shown on every news station.
Well done sir, keep up the good work.
🙏🏽☺️
Great investigative video! 👍We need to be pressing against this con. Love the 325i by the way!
Thank you!
These videos are eye opening and agree that the ULEZ programme and certainly shows it is not about pollution. The biggest pollution is not above ground, but underground.
I still can't understand why my cars emissions pass the MOT test and it's considered safe to use. And yet khan has given us another standard to abide by! Surely he doesn't have that much power 😡
He is a dictator, so yes he does.
What an excellent quality video, unbiased, scientific, presents the stats. You sir win the Internet award for the day. Subscribed. Love from Sidcup.
That's so kind of you. Thanks!
Brilliant pair of vids, Shahzad. I bet there will be a few more meters available soon to give a comprehensive test of the readings you are getting, so should put the nay sayers to rest. As mentioned below, The London Assembly should be made aware of your findings. Keep on keeping on.
Thank you!
The whole Assembly knows but they are having a cut of the money taken
Wow! I knew Ulez is a scam but the low pollution readings of cars vs public transport blew my mind.
It would be interesting to see the levels from different towns.
Far from London and then the levels from the coastal areas.
The ozone will probably kill you quicker and skin cancer from nicer weather and other cancers from the fish and chips etc...
AccuWeather has AQI. You can put in any town you like.
Really, really valuable information - you should be very proud of what you do.
Very kind of you. Thank you.
I think the readings are higher inside the car when it is stationary, probably when the car is moving and their is airflow through the car interior from the vents then the levels within the car should be acceptable.
It would be interesting to check train stations outside of London, and maybe coach and bus stations in comparison.
Brilliant video. Subscribed. More of this please! We must stop Khan
Both videos are very interesting, thank you.
Very well researched and informative content as usual Shahzad!
Just to add to all of this incase it helps anyone, I own a 1998 model year car and there seems to be some uncertainty regarding late 90s cars and their compliancy with ULEZ. My car is a Mercedes, and I wrote to MB UK with my findings ref NOx emission standards, and to see the status of my car. My e-mail stated that there is a car same model as mine (although post 2000 - so it all makes sense) for sale advertised as ULEZ exempt, and upon checking, it actually is - but I did say I understand this being a 'glitch' which further makes the whole thing confusing. Below is the very informative response from MB, from a well respected member of the homologation team:
Hi
The answer to your question - does my car meet the NOx emission standard? - is Mercedes-Benz doesn’t know!
I have checked your E 55 AMG built in 1998 and I can confirm that it only meets the Euro 2 Emission Standard.
Euro 2 cars were not tested for NOx output as this didn’t become mandatory until the Euro 3 standard was introduced in 2001.
Therefore as your car only meets the Euro 2 Emissions Standard and there isn’t any Nox data available, it will be subject to the ULEZ charge.
TFL will not accept MOT or independent emissions tests and the Euro classification allocated when the car was new stays with the car for the life of the car.
The E 55 AMG became Euro 3 from June 2000 onwards and therefore cars built after this date have NOx data and can get exemption from the ULEZ.
To confirm, Mercedes-Benz UK Ltd do not have any influence over EU Regulations, UK government policy, TFL procedures or charges.
But I always find it sad that I have to write this type of email for our majestic older cars.
Kind regards
So what this tells us, is that the same car that was built from 1998 to 2002 will only have the later models ULEZ compliant as the NOx data was only mandatory to be recorded then!! Even though the engines in both earlier and later cars is identical. It's all a joke, and charges should be pressed on those that are responsible for imposing this unjustifiable tax. I've read so much about this whole farce, but thought I'd add this here as I found nothing on the EURO 2 and EURO 3 thing (as above) on the net. So Kudos to MB for giving that info.
Very good points. Thank you.
As someone who owns a 1998 Mercedes SL I find this situation to be utterly absurd. A vehicle that maybe compliant is deemed not to be compliant because it was never tested to determine if it is compliant. And now when determining whether a car is compliant has become quite important- TFL will refuse to consider the results of a recent compliance test - at least according to Mercedes U.K. This seems like a breach of The Human Rights Act provision that requires the right to have a fair hearing.
@@patl709 Exactly this. I've got the news on at the moment, so frustrating how much they keep pushing the cleaner air message!! with images of car exhausts, in traffic, on a cold morning so it looks like there is smog coming from only the cars 🤬
@@tejsgarageuk2830 I looked at the BBC news website this morning looking for information on the court case. Their article on the ULEZ could have been written by Khan himself so one sided was the coverage. With every City Hall claim being cited as fact and anything questioning ULEZ being treated as dubious. But then this is to be expected from this “news” outlet.
Guilty until proven innocent 😑
Maybe all London Underground Stations, should have Environmental Pollution Detection Devices, with public display's too.
So the General Public and Passengers plus Underground Staff, know what the level of Air Pollution is at each London Underground Stations!
Maybe they should have public health warnings!!
Or maybe each Underground Station, should be fitted with Air Pollution Detection Devices, which are linked to Public LCD Screens around each Underground Stations.
So publicly showing the level of Air Pollution at any given time, so the General Public have the information to know if they are safe on the London Underground or not?
While the Air Pollution levels are recorded daily, for the whole of London Underground Station Network, then published on a London Underground Website, so everyone knows which London Underground Stations are the best or worse for Air Pollution levels?.
They won't do that because it would show how dangerous using the tube is for the public
Thank you for all you do ❤
Interesting. Catalytic converters are the main reason for the clean-ish air which you failed to mention. Older cars don't have them which is why I think they are penalised. Try testing next to your front wheels as brake dust is meant to be more lethal than exhaust.
You're quite right.
I have a catylictic converter on my 97 starlet. and if that is true then why wont they let me install a cat to my car and measure the emissions and when it passes let me keep my older cars. I can just fit them all with cats. no issues. would be cheaper and more envirmentally friendly than scrapping all these perfectly fine cars. also it doesnt make sense a car for example my 2000 fiat seicento but when i was looking around i saw a fiat seicento of exact same model only made in 2001 and it passes the ulez. there is no difference in engine or anything. same car like for like.
The brake material from tube trains was until the early 80s asbestos.
The tube system is absolutely filthy. I know because I used to work in some tube tunnels a few years ago. It would be a massive task to totally clean it. Of course a massive expense too which is probably why SK isn't making much of a thing of it
They've been fitted to all petrol cars since 1991, yet readings behind Shazam's non-cat 325i were still good.
Brakes produce particulates of course, with new cars and EVs being the worst, due to increased weight.
I have two Cats on my car and have changed them both at great cost but because my car is older than 8 yrs im screwed . Khan is a thief and should be prosecuted and sent down. and any council that has followed this system should be made to pay compensation to any person that has been fined. We are not fools or money banks.
Brilliant investigative tests. Well done sir. Confirms what we always knew!
Thank you!
Have you paid £12.50? If not, that's why the numbers are high. If you pay £12.50 the numbers would go down. Simples!

Hi Brown car guy. As a Brit who lives in Poland (a big city) I have noticed a massive difference in air quality. London has good air quality in comparison ith Polish cities. The worst reading in the tube you saw in part 1 is the norm for most cloudy winter days in Poland. I would like you to test a cloudy day in the winter where there is not much wind. This may certainly change your resaults AQI. I have also invested in 2 good qualiy air purifiing machines wih very good rated filters for my aparment. And you can massivly tell let alone taste he diffrence in the air as soon as you get home. Keep up he informaive work Ulez at cerain imes of the year may make a diffrence. but not all year round :)
Fascinating. Thanks for that. BTW - which purifiers did you get?
Wow I would say we have all the information to take them to court and why the car manufacturers aren't saying anything is very strange. Maybe they are getting a backhand.
We should take them to court and they have to explain. This stuff makes me angry. What about the boats going down the Thames River in Central London.
Car manufacturers are getting extra sales from this scam, they must love it
Another really excellent video!!
Thank you!
I’d be interested to see the readings inside a LTN and on the boundary roads where, as we know, the traffic is rapidly evaporating 🤣. And in all fairness, I’d like to see the readings in rush hour traffic where it is both much heavier and virtually stationary. Maybe taken on the approach to the Blackwall Tunnel, or on Lower Thames Street between Blackfriars and Tower of London.
The test was done in rush hour . i guess you were sleeping when part one was posted .
@@wellwhatthen10101, I wasn’t asleep. Read my reply again. As someone who has been driving for a living in Central London for over forty years, the point I made is that the traffic in the video is not what I would describe as heavy rush hour. It’s relatively light and free flowing compared to the queuing, much heavier, slow to stationary rush hour traffic I regularly encounter on the two routes I mention, and I’d be interested to see the AQI and particulate readings for those situations.
Aye...and what might it be stationary? Nothing to do with cycle and bus lanes....obviously
Money and greed is the only subject for ULEZ .Thank you for videos
Sounds like a con job - and I don't even live there!
