  • I couldn’t set up my account before the Wycombe game so took a chance through the Silvertown and haven’t been fined

    Came back after 10

    Will sort it out for next season but it was a painful website to set a new account up on

    Seemed easy enough to open the account, but I'm finding it impossible to now log in. Asking for a pin number that I've not created and can't find in any email or text they've sent me. It's easier to log into a banking app ffs

    Yep. Got mine too. Have appealed.

    If it’s TFL you only need the PIN number if you set it up that way. When I log into my TFL/Ulez account I just use email and password.

    Clearly I needed to read this thread before as I've now been fined for going through the Blackwall Tunnel ahead of our play off semi. It was the first time I'd driven to a game in years and was oblivious to the charge. I don't recall any signs/notices warning of it and if there were any I probably assumed they were for ULEZ for which my car is exempt. 
    Funny how little signage there was for something that only came into force in April. The priority is to ease congestion not to make money of course!
    Anyway, a warning to everyone driving to the Valley or in the area.....make sure you check.
    Same situation for me. I'd be hapilly proved wrong, but I don't think I've seen a toll road where its so unclear (southbound this is, northbound is fine), plus there were roadworks before the tunnel entry that day. The TFL representitive I spoke to on the phone said there is a sign with a red dot on it, which is hardly the list of timings and pricing that's very visible when driving northbound.

    It's been a couple of months since I set mine up but I think you only need your PIN number once and that's when you set up the online login the first time. They send you the pin during that process and you need to enter the pin to be able to create your password.
    The account number and password are all that's needed to login.
    I do remember that finding the website in the first place required a bit of patience and now I'm in and on auto pay it's working fine but it's not the greatest user experience ever created!
    After some of the posts I've read on here I've gone in each month to check my auto pay is working..... it is, but I don't have 100% confidence so I'll likely do it for a while yet.

  • I see that the tunnels have had the daily vehicle movements reduced by 2,000 a day, and the Woolwich Ferry increase by 1,800 a day since the toll was introduced.

    So they are raising the price to discourage use? 

    Where do they suppose the cars will go instead?

  • These new boats have always been fragile , had a lot of issues with the docking system when they  first started running , then went down to one boat , along with the ongoing strikes .

    This.

    Their answer (partly) will be to use the lower Thames crossing when its built in 10 years time. In the meantime whoever gets to keep the money is just happy to milk the drivers for as long & as much as they can. Then like with the Silvertown / Blackwall fiasco, when the lower Thames crossing is built more charges will apply so as to "even out" traffic flow.

    Funny how just a day before it was reported that traffic was diverting away from the cash cows of the Silvertown/Blackwall tunnels to the ferry. Now the ferry is "out of action". Yeah.....course it is.

    The Lower Thames Crossing will be built with a lot of private finance, it's been suggested that the charge to use it will be at least equal o the other two tunnels.
  • "at least equal", so could be tripple

    More likely to be equal as most traffic wouldn't use it if were more expensive than the other tunnels.

    That was some time ago. Both boats are working and run later than previously.

  • £3.50 to drive a car over half a mile of water, yet you can power a dinghy over 26 miles of it then they pay you.

    One of those interviews where you get second hand embarrassment. It's worse than Diane Abbot's interview on LBC a few years ago where she said new police officers were going to be hired on a salary of £8,000 a year.
