That's pretty much all I need to know, did you always have to pay it southbound and northbound? I thought it was only one way - or am I maybe mixing it up with having to pay it online in one direction whilst the other had actual gates so you didn't need to remember anything?

My memory tells me you paid for the bridge and not the tunnel and was surprised a few years ago when I found that wasn't the case.
I now have no idea if I dreamt it or not. Thank you for asking the question!
I thought the same. I'm sure I only paid one way.
I really wish we knew what we are remembering. This is so annoying!
you might be remembering it being free on a school coach?
Or the Blackwell tunnel?
I think you might be remembering the Severn crossings which were free one way and charged the other until the tolls were removed a few years ago.
It’s been ages (there was only one bridge the last time I went) but I believe you’re right.
It was or maybe is the Severn Bridge that had one way tolls.
No.
When they had toll booths they were always on the Kent side, but you had to pay either way.
So going south you paid at the tollbooth after crossing and going north you paid at the tollbooth before crossing, then they switched to paying online later for both directions? There was never even a pay at tollbooth one direction pay later the other direction phase?
Correct.
No.
