For some years when living in West Sussex I visited my daughters every two weeks in Cambridge. The good thing about that was once entering the M25 at junction 7 I could go either way round it to get the and there was only 5 miles in it.....So going I would go via Heathrow and coming back via Dartford.... Glad I don't need to go through there now |

One does wonder how much money they will be spending in the long term chasing those who do not pay. |

Inky- once the alterations are complete, would you mind letting us know if your crossing times have improved? |

OH will probably be using it this morning, his company will pay so not a problem there. His work is based near lakeside and they cover Norfolk to Sussex.....hopefully there wont be so many hold ups, but it wont stop the accidents on the M25 |

An awful lot of people are going to end up paying a penalty (which I believe is £70). |

Just a reminder that the changes to the way you pay are only one week away - from Sunday 30 November 2014 you will no longer be able to pay at the toll booths. |

+++DetEcTive+++ - I believe they are doing some alterations to the barrier/tollbooth areas, however I agree that tailbacks will still occur, this change o the way you pay, may or may not improve things, but the changes will increase revenues from the number of penalties that will be issued for late payment or failure to pay ;-) |

OH and I have been discussing this - we think that the tailbacks will still occur as the vehicles will have to slow down to go through the barriers. They aren't that wide! |

I live near Orpington (Junction 4) and I only heard about this on LBC Radio, that was what prompted to post the thread as I thought there would be others who may not be aware of the changes - I wonder if the regular tailbacks to Junction 4 will reduce or increase. |
