Tyne Tunnel

Hi All,
I made a return trip through the Tyne Tunnel on Thurs. I managed to totally forget about paying the toll until this afternoon (Sat) and know that you have until midnight the following day (Fri) to pay.
I paid the toll online and it seems to have been accepted. I received an e-mail to say all pre paid trips are now used up.
Wondering I may have been lucky and they only go by working days/ they don't kick off process for fines on weekends.
Apparently its £30 if paid in first 14 days, so not the end of the world, but annoying non the less.
Any thoughts?

As we major on private parking tickets here, Free Traffic Legal Advice (FTLA) forum will be your best bet for questions on potential council penalty charges. Register there but please note that a Hotmail address may not work - try using a throwaway Gmail account instead if you do have trouble registering, and post a new thread; here's your link:Read the sticky 'Read this first before posting your case'.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

For any future readers of this post, I called up the TT support line and it seems I managed to get the payment settled before their system issued the fine, so I’m told I’m ok.5
