Take the humber bridge it was never ever going to be financial viable tolls dearer the M6 if your in haulage/transportation goods or buses. Still it dont make enough to fund debt management and its maintenance.

I doubt if they even half the tolls which is planned will make jot difference as you goto try double traffic just to ofset the cut. If the currently funding not enough then realistically triple or quad the volume is needed. Its not the car traffic too they need haulers those who pay higher end toll.

When you consider this bridge if you need to get hull from lincolnshire cant be avoided. You can go via goole or even be mad enough m180 to roundabout then m18, m62 but costs more money to do so in fuel usage.

This there prices at present before it will be halfed

motorcycles 1.30
Cars 3.00
goods vehicle depending on weight 5.40, 12.10,16.20, 20.30

All one way costs.

This quite camparable to charges m6 both been utter failures one M6 companies planning to bail as they not getting enough funds. The other government had to bail it out due to interests on debt not enough funds being collected due to high prices but feel more to it.

Now these the only 2 guides of toll system in uk. As both in trouble I cant see any system working.

As matter interest where do you suggest those tolls to go what price point do you market these things.
