Hi Martin,
My advise would be to avoid using the Dartford crossing altogether and go M25 past Heathrow and then use the M40 and M42 onto the M6. I never use the crossing unless it's 100% necessary and I used to go across to France twice a week at one time! Tom.

If you come down the M6, and going to the south of that dump London, I go down the M42/40 quicker and cuts out the robber at Dartford.

I object to your tone here sir. As a Cockney by birth I'm proud to be a Londoner.....just glad I don't live there now

When we moved here in 2009 we crossed via the bridge and tolls, some hold ups but at least we knew that we were across... |

No offence intended but I am just a bit relieved you now live on Mars.

I noticed in one of the manifestos a proposal to make the Severn crossing free ..... why not the Dartford crossing too ????

NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- dartford crossing !
Went over it last year for the first time since about 2004 and did t realise the toll booths had gone. Chatting away, missed the signs and only realised I'd drive. Over without paying two days later in conversation with someone else. Even though I was outside the time, I managed to pay and avoid the fine. Won't do that again. Lol, naugty word ! Bit sensitive, but OK won't do it again |

Hi Stan. Did not mean it as a slight on cockneys, just that I used to have to drive through London to get to Ford at Dagenham , and it used to be a dump on the way through. Birmingham used, and still is in places, a dump, so please don't take it personally. I don't believe in defending the indefensible.
