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.



That was the original promise, but - shock horror - the politicians lied!

The claim was that, if it were free, more people would use it - and
congestion would increase.

Shortly after that, a power failure in Dartford took out all the toll
booths & guess what?

The traffic flowed at twice the speed.....
