I haven't used the toll road for ages, because I object to the stupid way they charge. When it first opened I used it a lot as it was £2.50, then one day they wanted to charge me £5. I pointed out that the charges hadn't increased and asked why they wanted more...you'll love this one. At the time I had a 110 Land Rover and the spare wheel was normally on the back, but on this occasion was on the bonnet and the system works by measuring the height over the front axle. I refused to pay, explained why and the supervisor saw my point. I told them to listen to the local radio station at 10.00 and rang a s**t stirring presenter who hates the toll road to tell him what had happened.
Tonight I saw one sign, after I'd joined the toll road and every other sign on the way up was blank. When I got to the other end I was told it was £11, apparently the night discounts start at 11pm. I was then told that if I was a member of the Caravan Club I could get a discount...WHY?????
I suspect the reason is that they want to get caravans and motorhomes of the busy section of the M6 which the toll road was built to avoid, so if that is the case why don't they encourage all of us to use it by reducing the stupid charge?:Angry:
