What is wrong with the Welsh? I go to wales every year on holiday and i cry evey time i come home:o . I find it to be the most relaxing place on this earth and the people are so warm and friendly. Beats where i live any day.

I should point out, no i am not Welsh my heritage is Irish

I am Welsh. You've hurt me now, I'm emotional.

There is a valid reason that you pay on the way into Wales and not in the other direction. It is simple, who would pay to go into England?

I can hear the boiling of blood now.

Credit or Debit card payment in my experience of the M6 toll is the fastest payment method. You put the card in the slot and it comes back to you less than 2 seconds later i.e instantaneous. There is no need to enter a PIN. The only thing that would slow you up is if you required a receipt and had to wait for ot to be printed

And that is why there is a really bad problem with people using stolen/cloned cards just like with tesco self service tills. Fast is not always good

... Even regular users --- would rather pay via their banking card ... THAN having to pay a CASH TOLL ..

Have you done a survey?
The signs telling you it is £4.90 CASH ONLY are about 30 foot high , not easy to miss.

P.S. Do you get some sort of bonus if you use over 50 full stops per post?

So why do you have to pay to get out of edinburgh via the fourth road bridge!! but seeing as someome has said it's £4.90 why the hell would you use the bloody thing in the first place if there are free alternatives. I know i'd take the free route across the fourth if the toll on the road bridge was that bad. To CCstar be thankful the cost for the FRB is only a pound and not almost five times as much.

I don't know what nationality the OP is but if you go to Orlando, Florida you find a similar system. Cash only tolls unless you have a Sunpass Express, which I've always thought hire cars should come with as you often have no coins when arriving in the Country and the easiest roads out of the airport are toll roads.
