Dartford crossing
I cannot understand how much do I pay each time I cross Dartford Crossing, can you tell me please? Do I pay each time I cross it, or the return is included in the price? Also, if I find a job in Dartford and I live in Essex, will I be paying less? Is there any provision about that?
