Imagine my surprise 3 weeks ago when I got a lift to Maidstone to pick up two Wreckers and bring them North one towing the other and I got to the crossing. £40 odd to get thru plus the £3.70. Nobody ever told me that over 18.75 metres required an ■■■■■■, I was 25 metres. Didn’t have cash, would’nt take credit card from the office over the phone! Bloody long way around on a Friday tea time I tell you.
They are starting to slip with the raised axles, I keep getting £2.00 come up and having to wait for them to reset to £3.70 for my tag. Driving a different agon a few weeks back I got through a few times for £2.00 paying cash. I used to have two tags but would take the multi axle out and insist they charged the lesser rate, it always used to work I might try it again soon.
Out in Australia they have made their tolls free flowing, either use tags, set up a temporary billing account or pay over the phone or at a newsagent like the congestion charge. Simple.
That’s right, you never have to stop here, they just take yer picture and send a bill. BUT, you only get three days to pay, or a heap goes on top.
wa would they charge you if you had 1 of them trailers that splits into 2 x20ft’s ? were the fron 20ft axles r off the ground ■■

M50 Dublin has “barrier-free” toll across the Liffey: Account Tag (cheapest), Video - ANPR - Account (dearer), Pay online / shop (dearest), or foreign registration plate
Does move the congestion north to where the roadworks are still going on

‘… not having been issued a Toll tag …’
Yeah, have been there when dozily ‘planning’ a nice, sunny, summer day-out: Company cab-phone advice en-route was '…we’ll fax 'em now - just tell ‘em who you are…’
Yeah, right …that ol’ classic - oh how everyone must have wet themselves.
Good job that I ‘always have the price of a haircut’ on me when good ol’ ‘Basic Training’ lucked me in. Again …but what a circus to get those squids back via petty cash.
Got turned back at the booths going anti-clockwise once because I was 20p short!! Didnt have anymore cash with me and had left my walllet at home. I argued with the robot in the booth but he wasnt having it so I went into the tunnel office to plead my case even phoning my boss and offering the phone to the robots in there to discuss the 20p payment but,no, they didnt want to know either. End result was to spin around and go for the Wolwich ferry which, luckily, was running both ferries!!
About 2 hours wasted and loads of extra miles because of being 20p short!!
