We live in a time of Tyrants who will do what ever they can to fine you.
Why no toll booths? why no automated payment options. other countries charge toll automatically, but in the great British Islands, how would they fine you if paid at a booth on the day, or charged automatically. No reminders, if you forget fine you... Thugs, earn millions in fines, yet the country is broke, the roads are a joke...

Hi Talib,

We are sorry to hear about your experience. The toll booths were removed in November 2021 to allow for open road tolling. This has brought many benefits and increased usage of the Tyne Tunnels. We offer a wide variety of methods to pay toll, including automated payment options when using a Pre-Paid Account.

Please find more ways to pay toll via this link https://www.tt2.co.uk/how-do-you-want-to-pay/

The Tyne Tunnels have one of the lowest non-compliance rate in the UK.
