Re: A102 Blackwell Tunnel Reply #3 on: October 20, 2025, 01:00:17 am #4 To be frank, I see nothing to stand on in relation to the contravention itself; the driver was clearly mistaken thinking the Dartfords crossing account included the Blackwall tunnel. The two crossings are operated by completely different organisations.Others here more experienced with TfL PCNs and their content may see some evidence of maladministration in not puting all the mandatory information required on a Road User Charge (London) PCN. Of course you can go and look at this yourself too, by entering the relevant regulation onto an internet search like I have just done here: - The Road User Charging (Charges and Penalty Charges) (London) Regulations 2001 These Regulations deal with the procedures relating to the imposition of charges and penalty charges for road user charging in Greater London under Schedule 23 to the Greater London Authority Act 1... legislation.gov.uk and here The Road User Charging (Enforcement and Adjudication) (London) Regulations 2001 These Regulations set out the procedures for the enforcement and adjudication of road user charging schemes in Greater London under Schedule 23 to the Greater London Authority Act 1999.

If nobody comes back in the next few days, I would consider paying the discount. Logged Like x 1 View List

Re: A102 Blackwell Tunnel Reply #7 on: October 20, 2025, 02:58:39 pm #8 TFL has stopped offering general discretion on the tunnel charges but no ask no get. Also the tolls are missing from this: Toll road charges Toll roads in the UK - find out how much it costs to use them and where they are. gov.uk Logged Like x 1 View List
