Used the M6 toll last Friday at the southern end I notice my class 5 had gone up to £8:00 from last years £5. When I got to the toll gate at the north end we were confronted with a demand for £9:00.
To add insult to injury. 2 trucks I overtook prior to joining the toll after I got through the toll booth and joined the M6 again were infront of me.
I was puzzled at the time as to why there was so little traffic on the toll road, I now know why. So that was the last time I use that road.

What I also find irritating are the overhead matrix signs telling you the Toll road is clear. More useful information would be to tell you whether the toll free route is clear. Still, that might lose them some money - or am I just an old cynic??

Yes Rick
One has to be a cynic to survive in this country now. I must admit while passing the service station I did comment there was a acute shortage of vehicles in the parking slots. Hope they are feeling the pinch like we all are now.
Kind regards

I got on the M6 Toll on the way back from Crufts as Tom Tom was sending me down the A38, rather than M42.
I completely forgot I was driving a Tranny and assumed I was going to be charged as a car. Big surprise - £9 - and I'd only travelled about a third of the way along the d**n thing. At least people going the whole length get better value for money. Why can't they charge per mile?

Toll sign says trailers extra. NO indication of cost until you get to pay booth. I only ever used it the once with the toad on the back, but can't remember how much it was IIRC it was £2 or £3 extra. I said I would never use it again and have not done so.
BEWARE!

Hopefully more and more motorists will avoid this Toll Road and perhaps those who run it will get the message

We were about to use the M6 Toll a few of weeks ago when the sign said it was Clear. We didn't and got caught in some very stop and start traffic.
I agree, why don't they "advertise" the flows for both routes. It's really silly!
I have found that if there is congestion on the old M6 then signs will usually tell you so as to persuade you to go M6 Toll. So if I see it says M6 Toll Clear it usually means the old M6 is also clear.
RAH you must have been unlucky.
