Mississippi Bullfrog Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 OK - not a ride out chat but just wondering if anyone has picked up on the tolls for the new Runcorn crossing.Once the new bridge is opened the charge for cars is £2 one way. The Mersey Tunnels are £1.70 but bikes are free. Anyone heard what the toll for Runcorn will be for bikes?I guess bikes are free in the tunnels because of the delay bikers will cause taking off gloves, unzipping multiple layers, finding money, lobbing in the machine, re-zipping everything up, putting gloves back on, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Oops - my bad. Just thought to check in case they'd put it up and there it is - bikes are free. Hurrah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 I know, I feel a bit of a divi.I nearly deleted it and then thought someone else might be wondering what the toll is.In my defence - it is first thing in the morning on my day off so I am not really in the land of the living yet.

iangaryprice Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 When the new bridge opens will there be a toll on the old bridge as well?I do to Liverpool through the tunnel occasionally, but only on the bike, usually avoid it with the car because of the cost.Sometimes go via Runcorn Bridge - depends wher abouts in Liverpool I intend to go.

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yes, the plan is to charge for the old bridge as well, which seems outrageous ad it's been free for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Yes, the plan is to charge for the old bridge as well, which seems outrageous ad it's been free for years.If they only charged for one, would everyone ignore the new bridge and continue to use the old bridge thus making the new bridge pointless?(I have no idea where these bridges are) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oasis Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The old one is a nightmare in busy traffic. The roads either side just can't handle the volume at rush hour. It's the same scenario as the M6 toll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
