Well done !  However, I think opening an auto=pay account may bave swung it, but who knows !  It's a win, anyway.

Update regarding my challenge to this PCN.
TFL accepted and cancelled it.
Claimed first offence and if also set up auto-pay 4 days after going through the tunnel, so showing willingness to pay in future.

Worth trying if you get one!

We don't know yet if TFL are cancelling first timers here but it's worth a polite ask.

Hi all,

Issue date: 04/06/2025

PCN: YJ73222274


I was waiting for this to come through as forgot to pay the tunnel on first use. I cross the river maybe once a year, and knew I should now pay, but just forgot to be honest.
Realised a few days afterwards but had just missed the 3 day limit. I then signed up for auto-pay.

Worth appealing on leniency basis? I've also asked Cp87.. for support to take it further.
