1st Class Experience

No fuss, no bother.
The Renewal Notice arrived in very good time.
The online forms was very straightforward.
In the past when I had difficulty with the size of the photos, the people to who I spoke could not have been more helpful.
This time, I managed to get it right
The people who run the system are polite and helpful both online and on the phone.
I am very happy!

Absolute joke

Absolute joke. I have the app, I top up the app. I had a return journey through, didnt register on the app, so payment was not made. Sending me fines for something out of my control, they wanted this automated system, they want to charge people. Tax payers paid for a tunnel used by a private company to charge tax payers who are doing all the right things. Disgusting.

Hi James,

We are sorry to hear about your experience. The Tyne Tunnels are private roads that do not benefit from local authority or Government-funded maintenance, refurbishment or operational support.

The Tunnels require constant maintenance and operation, and as we are a private road, it is vital that tolls continue to be collected to cover the costs for the extensive operation, safety and maintenance of the tunnels.

You can read more about this here: https://www.tt2.co.uk/toll-information/why-pay-a-toll/

If you feel you have wrongfully been issued an Unpaid Toll Charge Notice, you can appeal up to three times using the link below.
