So if you are not online, how do u pay?
You can Pre-pay and save 10%, or pay by midnight the day after your journey either on our website, App, automated telephone payment line on 0191 574 0030 or at a PayPoint retailer.

Read the rest of the thread
Plenty getting fined despite paying
Yep the same old wailers……I’m special…tolls don’t apply to me…..
Get themselves onto Local TV news…Never saw the signs…?drove through every day for months…I never knew that there was a toll….
Try telling plod you never saw the Speed Limit signs…..especially the 20mph ones….in every dead and alive line of half a dozen houses that calls itself a village in the Scottish Borders..
You travelled through the tunnel…..quit wailing…pay the bill…just like the thousands of others who can read road signs…
Absolutely. Except you cant pay as you drive away from the TT up the A19 and strike whilst the irons hot as it were. Instead you have to leave it 15-30mins for your journey to be recognised on the system for payment, which is a nonsense as they are employing ANPR tech which is effectively instantaneous. It was around midnight I went through and I was heading into the Cheviots, naturally you switch back to concentrating on the road and I managed to forget to call back. Can't disagree my own fault I made the journey, however this along with midnight the next day payment as opposed to the London congestion charge which is midnight on the third day are done to generate penalty income over simply the payment for passage.
Anyway as a visitor to the NE its definitely a shame not having the interaction with the toll booth attendant, which for me marked arriving in the area

I was raised in Morpeth. Father's smallholding was inside the borough boundary. If you do use the Tyne Tunnel beware of manic South Shields football supporters. Somehow they think they are the equivalent of Sunderland v Newcastle when it comes to S.S. v Morpeth.
I have not been to Cresswell for about 60 years so it will have changed a lot. Morpeth was scruffy the last time I was there - 2010. Local government changes meant the pride of the Councillors in their town was lost. My wife's family and part off mine still live there and seem to think it is a good place to live.
Some of the other posters on here and in Northumberland will be able to give you up to date info on what to see and where to go, but the hills - Wannies and Cheviots will still be the same shape even if diferently farmed or forested.

This won’t be that far away if you fancy a wander on a nice day, shame a lot of the mine is filled back in again as it was one hell of a hole

Last time I was up that way visiting an Uncle (at Bedlington) we went past that lady sculpture thing. Is that where there used to be a massive open cast with One or Two of the massive Walking excavators ?? because we used to see them on our way home. (luckily no tyne tunnel in them days)

I remember some of my friends were down at Newcastle drinking for the weekend and met him and got speaking to him.
They said he was a really nice bloke. He gave them £50 to put in drinks kitty!

I've been to Blyth and back today through the tunnel.
Just paid for my journeys online, and put another 2 on whilst I was typing in card details...
My mate lives at Peterlee, uses the tunnel a bit, had all his vehicles on an account, has just received 3 fines after 4 recent trips through the tunnel.
He's just told them in a letter to sort their sh!t out and enclosed his proof tofTT2 account details
