Tyne Tunnel (TT2)
The two Tyne road tunnels between Jarrow and Howdon removed their booths and moved to pay-later tolling. You drive straight through and pay online — but the window is unforgiving.
There's no late-payment grace period here: pay by midnight the day after, or it's a penalty. That hard cut-off makes the Tyne Tunnel one of the easiest crossings to be fined for.
