Looks like you can only use cash in advance at a 'payzone outlet', whatever one of those is.

Quick question. Can you still pay cash to cross the Thames at Dartford, bridge and tunnel?

Many thanks.


No. It's been replaced by online prepayment. All the toll booths have been removed. Though you can drive through, you have up to midnight to pay the charge online.

Its the same as the london congestion charge, just remember to pay or you get fined.
I have a pre paid account to save me the hassle, but i probably drive over it a few times a month, so it saves me money.

Is it still free if you drive through between 10pm and 6am?


Yes

Waindell,

I drove across over Christmas for the first time under the new system - it did seem a lot quicker without the toll booths

Actually you have until midnight the day after you cross to settle up

I did a lot of driving over the holidays and there are adverts in all the service station toilets about the new crossing arrangements. I'm sure I remember reading that the time-limit was for the day after you cross, otherwise someone crossing at 9:59pm would have only two hours to find somewhere to cough up.
We don't often use the crossing though as Mrs Dr Bollo, being a Stratford girl, doesn't believe in going sarf ar da riva!

Does the vehicle in question have a NL registration?

Yep, and the fine will get sent here with a mark-up to cover the additional costs.

Think I'll drive round clockwise instead of anticlockwise, can't be bothered with the faff of giving my credit card details to a stranger on the internet.

Thanks for the replies, everyone.
