I read from our own Nick Gibbs the other day that a dramatic swerve of UK public transport policy may be in the offing. What a staggering turn of events that would be. 

Having done its own research on the real-world emissions of plug-in hybrid cars, as well as reading fairly critical reports from third parties, apparently the DfT is all set to change its line on exactly how long PHEVs will be allowed to remain on sale in the UK, as well as other kinds of hybrid cars, before the total ban of all combustion-engined new cars comes into force in 2035.
