AA ROUTEPLANNER- what's happened?

ampersand

It's probably me, but why can't I pull up the 'No Toll Roads' option as of old, when checking a new route through France.
Demise of Speedferries:mad: means new ports to arrive at and I'm not interested in throwing more Mr T vouchers into Eurotunnel's maw.

Any help would be appreciated - I've tried putting 'No Toll Roads' into the search boxes at differing points of the exercise and have no joy.

Thankyou.

Use LDLines, Dover Boulougne and brand new ferry. Used them last week, fabbo new ferry and prices are the same ish to Speedferries.

I usually use www.viamichelin.com for the france leg as it has no toll roads functionality. If you are on a toll road it tells you how much it will cost too.

Hi there,

After recommendations from here I am now using viamichelin.com as my route planner for our holiday to France. It seems really efficient and you can click on 'route options' to find 'avoid tolls'.

Hope that helps.

Oops you beat me to it, BenL! I think it was you who I heard about viamichelin from, and we've also booked Dover-Boulogne on your recommendation, so double thanks!!

Thankyou both - used to use michelin all the time, but their road no.'s weren't always up to speed.
Francophile moi prefers anything in français anyway.
Yes, have had loads of email 'come hithers' from LD, as former Speedferries acolyte. On verra.
The Boulogne>>xroute I do on auto-pilot.

Purely on cost, was edging to Norfolk Line and I like their clear fare options being shown/accessible over several days.
I'll pop back and look again at LD.
Just thinking I might whizz down to offload big Mr T BBQ and go for proper usual haul later.

Right, just visited Michelin and happily see they simply come 63km SW-ish and carry on from where I do 1st fill at Boulogne Leclerc anyway.
AA wants peeps to go down est side of Paris....merci, mais non. Ghastly memories of THAT mess in years gone by, not so long ago.

Another vote for viamichelin for directions, anywhere including within the UK

Agree with your sig, too, SB - not the true brit bit[quioui f/ph. moi] - just the 18 degrees C for me isn't hot.

LD Lines new ferry. We stayed in the colourful section so daughter could run around and not annoy anyone. There is a front section with large window and larger seats and coffee tables etc.

£30 to get my van home and 3 of us, bargain!

Getting the power down, bye bye France and holidays. sob sob.

58 mins later you arrive in UK before you setoff France time!
