Has anyone seen this? I saw it being built when I drove down to London at the weekend and didn't even know there was going to be one!

Good idea, not sure I'd pay £3 each way to use it, but hopefully others will and the normal M6 will be less congested!

I've heard about it months ago on the news, I think people will just clog up all the other roads rather then paying a toll to go along the M6

err - the point is the m6toll will be a *new* road - why would people clog up other roads when the M6 will still be free? :)

oh, I can't remember it very well and havn't been bothered to click your link, too much effort, I thought they were just tolling the m6

maybe I should look things up instead of just posting what I think, but that would not be me

i live near it, apparantly it'll be really cheap compared to the time and petrol saved, i'll probably try it out when it's open. it took me 2 hours to get past birmingham one evening a couple of months ago so should be a good run, worth paying a couple of quid for.
