The new bridge crossing the Mersey between Runcorn and Widnes is due to open very soon and so a route that was free will now be tolled both ways - £2.00 Class 2 vehicle/caravan , £6.00 for class 3 vehicles. This will could mean a £12 return toll for some MH. Perhaps the club could negotiate a similar deal we have for the M6 toll.

Posted on 25/10/2017 17:19 by TinwheelerBut do we? Scotland has its own Parliament and makes its own laws on certain issues. What happens in one country of the UK is not necessarily replicated in all the other countries. It's life.

The other Club reported in their December magazine that after lobbying the bridge operators all motorhomes category N1 or M1 on the V5C would be reclassified Class 2, the same rate as a car or light van.
I've spent the day arguing with Merseyflow after sending them a copy of my V5C but they will not reclassify it. Watch this space.
