First UK integrated hydrogen transport system to launch in London and South East

The consortium, led by Air Products, will deliver a publicly accessible, state-of-the-art, fast-fill 700 bar (10 000 psi) renewable hydrogen fuelling station network. The three-year LHNE project – co-funded by the government's Technology Strategy Board – will also deploy new hydrogen vehicles in London, including a number of Hyundai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles as well as hydrogen internal combustion engine (HICE) vans from Revolve Technologies.

Creating this network is particularly important because the major automakers have confirmed that the hydrogen vehicles available for purchase in the UK from 2014–15 will require 700 bar fuelling systems. The LHNE project will upgrade the existing fuelling station located near Heathrow Airport to 700 bar, and deliver a new hydrogen fuelling station to this specification in London.

I suspect hydrogen fuel cells will be the government's preferred replacement engines since it's easier to tax.
 
White elephant, but I might start building a Zeppelin to take advantage of the infrastructure.
