New Mersey Crossing Toll.

We have just registered and get a 10% discount but you need to have a pre pay card. With the old jubilee bridge shutting then reopening also as a toll and the Mersey tunnel toll as well it was the lesser of the 3 evils apart from a detour on the M62 which would cost more in fuel. It would be nice if the club did something for us all up here.

Another case of infrastructure outside of London being paid for by the locals. Can you imagine the uproar if they shut a main bridge in the capital and reopened as a toll bridge!

Charging is a disgrace, this bridge is essential.

Good job I dont have to pay 380% fuel duty and £500 a year road tax, oh hang on a minute!

Good job my boss is going to give me an extra £1000 a year to compensate for this, I am sure he will, oh no hang-on again!

Boycot the bridge, we have managed for two years without this route dont let them profit from basic infrastructure projects.

3 routes across the Mersey, all toll, disgrace.

Where's Gerry and the Pacemakers when you need them?

Apparently if you happen to live in Halton you can qualify for a pass at an annual cost of £10 a year.

Just be thankful that you don't have to pay for the Severn bridges which are currently £6.70 for a car. The toll is going to be dropped at the end of next year, after we have paid for the entire cost of building and maintenance. Compare this to the new bridge in Scotland which is totally free of charge. The bridge/tunnel over the Thames is free of charge. Governments always throw public money at projects in the capital cities and deny the provinces of investment.

Which bridge / tunnel over the Thames do you mean. Because although the Dart Crossing looks free (no toll booths) you will get a penalty notice unless you pay for your crossing online.

The congestion charge in the capital also the low emmisions zone are more than a charge to use the very old bridges over the Thames and the Dart Crossing is also a toll crossing both ways

If you live in Halton it is free to cross but you have to pay a one off registration fee of £5.....as does everyone else who registers but they then have to pay to cross, it would be Interesting to know how much they make on the registration fee alone.

'phishing', A new bridge has been built across the Mersey, do you think chocolate buttons paid for it, as someone out of town I will use it if necessary as I will with any toll to make life easier for me. Of course there is always the long way around, or public transport.

Tolls are a fact of life if you want to cross the Tamar. We've been paying on the bridge since 1961 and on the ferries long before that. Somebody has to pay for these structures and they are of enormous benefit. Like most things in life, if we use it for convenience, we should pay for the privilege.
