With Birmingham City Council bust does anyone think ULEZ will be expanded to bring in extra revenue into the councils coffers.

Such as 

1) expanded from inner circle to the edge of the outer circle.

2) expanded south towards the airport to capture people going to the NEC

Not sure but I could the ULEZ being extended to the border of Coventry 

Could we also see the sale of the hydrogen buses to help with costs
All views are my own and does not represent the views of any company/ business that i maybe be working with

Highly unlikely, it would cost too much to do so.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Couldn't include Solihull as its a separate council authority.  Only if Solihull agreed to extending the ULEZ over their boundary would this happen. Remember it's Birmingham City Council, not the separate WMCA that's in difficulty.

That's why I queried Solihull.
