He was probably in shock at the thought of £2 to cross the bloody river.

Thieving Barstewards!

Yeah as I understood it the bridge toll was meant to be removed once the bridge had been paid for, which I tought happened a year opr so ago. Now the excuse seems to be if it was free to many people would use it.

Luckily I don;t drive :-)

The toll on the Dartford crossing was removed a few years ago, after the
period agreed by the government of the day for recovery of the building
costs expired.

It was replaced the following morning by a maintenance charge.....

All legal, and it is now owned, I believe, by a French company, as is
the M6 toll near Birmingham.
