Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Blackwall tunnel Penalty charge notice
« on: November 19, 2025, 11:25:42 am »
I have received a Penalty notice from TFL for not paying the toll to use Blackwall tunnel.
I paid for a return journey for the Dartford tunnel as I travelled to my destination using the Dartford tunnel and was suppose to come back the same way however my satnav took me back via Blackwall tunnel but I did not realised that the payment needs to be made to 2 separate entities.
I paid for 2 journeys on the Dartford toll website. Which now in hindsight is my stupidity of not knowing the difference but also I did not know you have to pay to use the Blackwall tunnel either. I am not familiar with the area and I was not driving, so didn't pay too much attention to where I was. That evening on my return I paid the Dartford tunnel charge for a return trip. I didn't see my return trip but thought there is a delay on the system but still paid.
I can show that I have paid for a return journey on the Dartford tunnel, and that I had full intentions to pay but not sure if this will be acceptable. Can anyone please advise? £90 fine is a lot of money.
