10,000 pa? Ok, maybe 20k has been generous but a 50% slash? I mean it’s not even 1k a month, you’d have thought 12 maybe even 15 but 10? For a group of people that, by their very nature, don’t have a lot of the other travel options that most of society does.
And then they hike the excess to 25p a mile! 25 pence! I’m days away from changing and as of this moment my mileage is 51,164 – so on the new rules that would be an excess of 21,164, at £1 for every four miles that’s £5,291 !! Unless they’ve forgotten a decimal point the one I’m about to get will be the last on the scheme! And, sadly, I suspect that’s the plan, I strongly suspect the scheme is being made unpalatable on purpose due to political pressure.
