Came up the M6 toll this afternoon and presented my tariff of £5:30 I was a little on the slow side in handing my club membership card to the kiosk attendant when she said that will be £8:60.
As I handed her my club card she said we can only use it up to the end of this year, has any member heard of this (my membership card expires end of September)

Have never used it , and would not on principle, bypassing a largely heavily populated area, should be the remit of the Government, NOT private, profit driven companies. Most Trucks still use the main M6, so, the pollution has not been eased for the the unfortunates who live under and around the badly sited original M6. Not usually a politcal animal, but on this issue i think nationialisation is the only answer. Use the money destined for stupid HS2.

It might be useful for some to know that if you stay overnight at the Norton Cannes services on the M6 toll and pay the £30 parking fee it includes a £10 meal voucher and free toll charges. For me, towing a car, that could total £27.70, i.e. the cost of using the toll road would only then be £2.30 plus any extra I pay for meals which would be as little as possible!

Sadly, I find myself using the M6 Toll from tome to time when travelling from home to Brewood on a Thursday night for practice - especially if I'm a little on the late side. It does make the journey much quicker, but the fairly recent price rise will make me think twice. The traffic islands and speed cameras on the A5 can be a pain.....
