Dartford crossing

errrr..what new payment system, help, counselling needed

 

Thanx will need this for car, assume bikes still free, will have a look how that works later, maybe yer book but don't have to pay

 

Yeah bikes are still free, but tell me as a bike rider do we have to queue behind the cars or can we jump to the front??

 

Dedicated bike lane sounds good, as they appear to be removing the toll booths, like you be interested if anybody knows/used it yet?

 

My girls have used the crossing a couple of times and have no issues with the new payment scheme
Not sure about a dedicated bike lane

 

I used it a week ago and there is no deicated bike lane but they are still working on it, we should not need one anyway as there was no Q when I used it going towards getwick but there is a 30 mph limit through the barrier, but it was slow coming back as there is still a guy in the booth lifting the bar for everyboby without taking any money,

you have to pay in advance on the net or pay by phone within either 12 or 24hrs I can not remember or you get a £70 fine, in there blerb they say the will loose a lot of money from drivers abroad, why should that be I do not know, France do not have that trouble why should we,

come to think about it when it first opened it was supposed to be free after a number of years that time has passed, but it seems they have changed there mind on that, making too much money I suppose.

Thanks fer update Keith

 

Yo peeps, update needed, heading sarf to Brighton this weekend. Do bikes have to book even tho no cost? Any special lane to look out for? Muchos grassyass

 

Why is it the bridge guys can not get themselves in gear for the new system, I went through the other week in the car and git a penalty notice a week later that would be ok if I had not paid but I had payed two weeks before and I had to send all the receipts to Liverpool or somewhere up there to prove it, I eventually got a letter telling me no further action would be taken.
