Read a knowledgeable analysis of the judgement and why it will be overturned at appeal here.

Zero reason? Really?
Crikey, you're still banging on with your anti-car crusade!! Wait till you have someone, for example a wife who you suddenly need to get to hospital quickly and can't quickly get a taxi. You would find a car invaluable!

At least there's not a staff shortage in the NHS and dwindling numbers of nurses cos this could put people off working for them.
Don't be weird.
To get to work in central London? I can't think of one.

Surely it depends whereabouts they live not their place of work?

Ended due to no one using it.
I replied to someone saying paramedics have to pay congestion charge when working in central London. I fail to see why they'd be driving a private car in that scenario.
Day shift start at anytime from 1000 till 1400 and finish upto 0200 (as long as you are off on time)
Who's going to get them home in the early hrs? Who car should they use?

Criminal offence to block access to a highway. IIRC.
However, it's not any kind of offence to block access of a highway. So block an empty drive. IIRC.
Personally I don't see what the problem is. They should be fined. If these were Nando's workers we'd be doing chicken puns by now with zero sympathy.
Bad planning giving out to many passes seems to be the issue to me. Perhaps passes should only be valid for certain shifts.

Probably should consider using the best public transport network on the planet.

I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with our lass travelling around on the tube and what have you at 2am on her tod most days mind.
She'd be on a bus, and the bus would be busy, even at daft o'clock. London transport really is nothing like anywhere else in the UK.

You sure paint a pretty picture of travelling through the night on public transport in London mind. I'll bow to your superior knowledge on the subject mate.
What a plum you are.
I've put across a perfectly valid point which you haven't managed to respond to. Public transport in London would get them home perfectly fine every night, it's incomparable to virtually every city on the planet.
If it's too much to handle then they can just shut up whinging and pay the congestion charge (and parking fees) instead...

It's not exactly like being driven around in a limousine but it's really not that bad! Not much different to the day time. In central London the buses will be very busy at that time, it's not like paramedics are the only people clocking off work at 2am.
Most staff working in central London live outside London well beyond zone 6 as these areas inside the worlds best transport system are well out of their reach. How does someone get to Basingstoke, Ayslesbury, Southend via public transport in the early hours of the morning? It's not achievable to live anywhere within zone 6 on £40k.
