If I used the crossing on Saturday taking my Mrs on a day trip and forgot about the charge. Telephoned today to make the payment only to be told it was late and no payment could be made. The guy checked to see the status of my alleged crossing only to tell me there was no record of my vehicle having passed either way.

Got me thinking, with such a short window to pay how much are the thieving blighters making off the disproportionate fines? Anybody been stung with one as have heard it's £70 per crossing which would make a very expensive return trip.
