Default OT the headline writers simply gert worse every year

In article ,
says...

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.


Plus both Severn Bridges.

Incidently, the toll on these bridges make the Dartford crossing sound
like a bargain.
