Do bikes have to pay the toll? 40p for a car. £20 mill to replace, i wonder if the toll will stay, go up or be scrubbed?

Bikes pay the toll, but often when we turn up mob handed they let us through for nowt. The toll will go because it is public money paying for the bridge, presently the bridge is privately owned so they charge for the privilege of using it.

It frequently is, as there are some rather good roads thereabouts.
