The charge over the dunham bridge is per wheel. Used it Thursday and cost me 70p for four axles

a four wheeled wagon would have been 20p, 30p if it had double wheels on the rear axle(6 wheels)

I was in a six-wheeler, but the tag axle was raised as I was running back empty… don’t know if that has any effect on the toll or not. It could well have been 30p, I remember having to ‘borrow’ 20p of my driver’s mate to pay anyway.

The Wallasey Tunnel.I came through there yesterday. Don’t forget, when heading north on the M53 you have to miss the viaduct over a roundabout a couple of miles before the tunnel (and presumably southbound too). Its simply a case of coming down the slip road, round the roundabout and back up onto the motorway. The signing before it isn’t that clear. As you approach, northbound, all it tells you is 3 tonne limit, come off here. It doesn’t say come straight back on, until you get to the exit off the roundabout .
You have to do the same when heading south as well. You’re right, it’s not exactly iobvious what the procedure for wagons is! I think the weight limit is 3.5t over the flyover.

Yes it is, Limey, and I think it’s still 5p too! I was over that way on a visit to see my Old Dear a while ago but can’t remember how much it was exactly. It’s Portmadog by the way too.
Did you go the A55 - A470 - A487, through Ffestiniog way? I went that way a few weeks ago and there’s no toll bridge any more, anywhere between the 55 and Portmadog town centre. As you approach Portmadog there’s a left turn which has a toll bridge on it, according to the sign before the turn - it also has a 2t weight limit. But none on the main roads.
I was somewhere near Reading possibly Sonning and came across a toll of about 20p can anyone place this ■■?
yes its the whitchurch toll bridge over the river thames it is located in pangbourne if memory serves me correct it has a 7.5tonne weight limit and has been a toll bridge for at least 100yrs i think
A477 Haverford west to Pembroke docks
all of £1.50 and you get a reciept
cars 75p
and a great view to go with it
The toll s gone off the Erskine Bridge ,it became free at the end of last month .Only discovered that today on my way up to Inverary with a 7.5 tonner loaded with wire fencing

Used to go down there quite a bit, first time I went bown there missed my drop off had to go along that road to turn round. 5p each way. Was I embarrassed or what.
Just a comment on the Itchen bridge.
Down in Southampton on Tuesday and needed to cross the bridge. Sign was marked up at £2, only to get to the pay desk to be told it was £25. Looks like someone was messing about with the numbers!
Torpoint Ferry, Plymouth. has been upgraded so 17 tonne can cross now.
Free from Plymouth to Torpoint, £2.60 coming back.
MGW is 16 ton
