More price rises likely in row over emissions tax

Growing worldwide opposition to the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme
(ETS) could result in further increases to the cost of flights. This week an Indian government official said retaliatory measures to the   scheme were being considered, including the possibility of new taxes and  restrictions on flights from EU countries to non-EU ones. Discussions are  due to take place next week, in either New Delhi or Moscow, between delegates of those countries that oppose the scheme.

Should restrictions be imposed, flights to hundreds of destinations could be affected.

Chris Goater, a spokesman for the International Air Transport Association  (IATA), said: “Retaliatory measures have been mentioned, and they must be avoided. It could result in a patchwork of different taxes on aviation,  with airlines being taxed by two or three different governments. Airlines  already have incredibly thin

David Cameron faces Tory revolt over Thames Estuary airport on ‘Boris Island’

Already facing opposition from a swathe of Tory MPs to proposals to run a high speed rail line through the Chilterns, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire, the Prime Minister is now facing the threat of a revolt over a second flagship transport policy.
Six backbenchers have written to then Prime Minister urging him to kill the “Boris Island” scheme off, warning that it would cause huge environmental damage to the area.
It is understood that several ministers and Tory whips, who are not signatories to the letter, are also unhappy at the prospect of a massive new hub airport either on the Isle of Grain or on reclaimed land in the Thames Estuary.
In October 2010 Mr Cameron said that the Government had “no plans” to build an airport in the Thames Estuary.

Wi-Fi access to be available on London Underground by this summer

Following a successful trial at Charing Cross station, TfL has confirmed that Wi-Fi access will be provided at 120 stations throughout the Tube network, enabling travellers to go online when waiting at platforms. Wi-Fi services will be unavailable when passengers are travelling from station to station within Tube carriages.
The assertion that access will be available in advance of the London 2012 Olympics follows the collapse of a similar attempt to provide commuters with internet access last year. Then it was claimed that the UK’s four main mobile operators would provide the service, but those plans never came to fruition. TfL has yet to announce which company will take responsibility for the service. Gareth Powell, TfL’s director of strategy and service development said: “We are in the final stages of the tender process. London Underground is continuing
