First time I have driven through the…

First time I have driven through the tyne tunnel. There were roadworks and I saw no signs about paying a toll. Perhaps I am a bit simple ! Anyway i then get a letter demanding £35 which I paid. If this were an honest company they would have far clearer signs and maybe even send a letter to prompt someone who has genuinely made a mistake to go online and pay the toll. Then by all means fine them after that. This is clearly a system designed to rob unsuspecting people and be a profit generator. They should publish how much money they collect in these fines. Whatever they say, the signage is clearly not adequate. They could obviously make it better but will choose not to do so as it is a money generator.

Hello,

We are sorry to hear about your experience. When traveling through the Tyne Tunnels a payment for toll is due by midnight the following day. The timeframe for payment is set in the Tyne Tunnel Bylaws, which are governed by Central Government. This timeframe is set to encourage the lowest non-compliance rate possible.

All signage across our site is checked regularly and is in line with the Traffic Signs Manual.

Renewal form very easy for seniors

As a senior of 82yrs old the renewal form was very easy to fill in. Plus, the acceptance of the form and final decision came back to me very quickly…..no hanging around wondering. Thank you.

Huge thanks to Caitlyn this morning. They helped me, very patiently and speedily, to reconnect my car to my account (the connection was lost when the garage servicing my car put it on their account for ease of collection and delivery). Five stars all round, thanks!
