Mate of mine is a palace fan and went to their evening match at home to Leeds .
he had to drive straight back, but got confused ( old car no sat nav) and a week later had a £165 fine for driving through middle of London .

You don’t have to use the Tyne tunnel, it’s merely a short cut, hence why you pay.
The same as the m6

You will be fine in Northumberland. Just avoid the urban jungle in the south east corner

Think I`ve read the tunnel is all pay online now, within 24 hours of your trip

The wife got diverted off the A1 back in april and the diversion went through the tunnel, there was no apparent place to pay so she drove on.
Not her choice of route
Now they want £60 the hoors
How do u fix this?

3 options.

1. Pay it and move on with your life.

2. You can appeal the fine on their website but I can guarantee you that you won't win. You get 3 chances to appeal it.

3. Don't pay it, and just ignore every letter they send you, they'll send it to debt collectors, they will send you letters just ignore them too and they will eventually go away, they haven't took anyone to court yet.

There is a Facebook page set up about the tyne tunnel ripping people off, they have made millions and millions in fines since it went to the new system.

I went through a couple of months ago and it wouldn't let me pay on their website, and you only have till midnight the following day, appealled it 3 times and finally they gave in and let me pay the original toll. If they didn't I was just going to refuse to pay it, the whole new system is justa way to rip people off.
