Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnels Charging Fine - Any chance of successful appeal?
« on: »
I live in rural East Sussex and have visited a friend in North London a couple times over the years. My route always takes me through Blackwall Tunnel. I was very surprised this morning to receive a contravention oweing £90 for not paying the blackwall tunnel  charge.

I must have been totally oblivious on my drive as I didn't notice signs plus I have driven through it before without getting charged (pre the introduction of the charges)

Is there any hope of appealing on ignorance? I suspect I will get another one soon as I came back on the same tunnel the next day. but that letter hasnt arrived.

Well, you can try, but the ££££ signs are in their eyes now ! The signage is IMHO totally inadequate to show a toll is payable, all they have put up are 'C' signs that are lost within the main signage. I think there are one or two non-descript signs with white text on blue background.

Here is the typical sign:-

Really prominent, isn't it !

These tunnels are still not on the government's toll page.

They do let people off so it's well worth a try and noting the absence from the toll page.
