Still cant see how they can get away with charging people south of the river twice (there & back) but those living north of the river dont get charged at all.
Time to speak to my MP.1 -
So an extra £40 a week for somebody to get to work who lives south of the river and works north. will put people off applying for jobs, companies have a smaller pool of people to choose from and therefore less likely to get the best person for the job. Really dumb1

Don’t think that is correct, the one thing that is correct, is people living in the west of London can cross the river for free.golfaddick said:Still cant see how they can get away with charging people south of the river twice (there & back) but those living north of the river dont get charged at all.

There are discounts for those with low incomes in local boroughs either side of the river.2

From what I've read the charge will be between 7am and 10am going northwards and between 4pm & 7pm going southward.
IE. If you live south of the river & need to cross the Thames by the Blackwall Tunnel in the morning then you are charged but not if you are travelling north to south. Then in the evening the opposite happens.

I read it as those times are peak and charged extra, other than that you pay a normal toll? 🤷🏻♂️golfaddick said:

Emailed my MP.
Got a reply back that as it's an TFL issue then it comes under the auspices of my London Assembly member.
Great. What do we pay these clowns for.2 -

I think your point is there is effectively no ‘peak’ time concept for those going in the opposite direction to the majority of users.golfaddick said:

Wasn’t trying to wind you up, I’ve had a stomach bug for a few days, have eaten very little, have gotten brain fog.golfaddick said:

What I'm saying is that "peak time" hours are one way only - northbound in the morning & southbound in the evening.valleynick66 said:

Now assuming you use the Blackwell Tunnel to get to work then if you live South of the river (and travel north) then you are charged more than if you live North of the river (and travel south).
That is discriminatory. And I intend to fight it.5 -
I guess it will not lead to greater use of Rotherhithe tunnel or Tower bridge as there would be no money saved in doing so.0

I like the reason why there has to be a charge for the Blackwell Tunnel as well - because if there was only a charge for the Silvertown Tunnel then no one would use it.Badger said:
M6 & M6 Toll. Only charged to use the Toll Rd & not for the existing M6.
So a precedent has been set. Well done TFL.0 -
As per the link above there will be some crumbs from the table to feel good about.

Our whole railway system works this way. If you live in Guildford and work in London you have to pay silly money to get to work. But if you live in London and work in Guildford, the fare is at least reasonable.
No one seems to question the logic of this and certainly wouldn't regard it as "discriminatory"!
Removing peak hour tolls and fares would result in more people attempting to work. (I thought this was a government "priority").
This might actually lead the government to actually do something about the congestion and overcrowding rather than just pricing people out of going to work.2 -

Funny how the phone story emerged after she put the boot into P&O and their free market capitalist employment practices.
Naughty though. But no Michelle Mone.8
