M6 Toll T1 to T3 cost

T1 (Dunton) is in Zone A and T3 (Langley Mill) is in Zone B, so a journey between them covers Zones A and B and pays the 2-zone fare: £9.50 contactless or £8.40 on Breeze for a car. The road lets you drive it in both directions. T1 is the southern end, where the road meets the M42 at J9 for the NEC and Birmingham Airport; T3 is on the A38, the usual exit for Tamworth and for Drayton Manor via the A4091.

Can you drive T1 to T3 in both directions?
Yes. Both junctions let you join and leave in the directions this journey needs, so it works northbound (T1 to T3) and southbound (T3 to T1), at the same fare either way.

Northbound (T1 to T3), the toll is taken at the toll station on the T3 exit slip. Southbound (T3 to T1), the toll is taken at the toll station on the T3 entry slip. That is one charge for the whole journey. Contactless users tap at the barrier; Breeze accounts are billed by number-plate camera.
