How much!!!?????

Shiney, we had a toll on the Dartford crossing, when the bridge was paid for the toll would be scrapped, or so they told us.
The toll keeps rising and the bridge has been paid for.

Whatever happens, we pay, but lets finish off the private companies getting involved, if one goes under I doubt any others will be formed, being it unprofitable.

 

Do what the bikers used to do at Dartford.

Cause one hell of a jam, while you get out and ask others for change.

 

I occasionally use the Swinford Toll Bridge over The River Thames which only costs 5p http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2009/nov/17/swinford-toll-bridge-for-sale

If I use the Severn Bridge, I drive into Wales using the A40 then use it for free to get back into England.

And when we went on a prospective uni visit to Canterbury a couple of weeks, I went south of London on the M25 to avoid the Dartford Crossing tolls.


P.S. There have been rumours that the Severn Bridge tolls will be extended beyond the planned period to facilitate financing of a Severn Barrage (additional crossing).

 

Sound familiar regarding Dartford.

 

What, like just when you expect the tolls are going to end, they get extended to 'support' construction of further local toll roads/bridges?

 

I think the Tolls on Dartford should have stopped about 10yrs ago, might be wrong on actual time, but they just put them up instead with some very vague plan about another Thames crossing further down stream.

 

Use the GC Helecoptor

 

I would have done, FM ... trouble is, it was double booked: Our Mandy was taking a trip back in time to his Riff Raff days when the women were free and easy and a good time had by all (at my expense, it would appear! )
