M6 Toll T1 to T8 cost
T1 (Dunton) is in Zone A and T8 (M6 J11a) is in Zone C, so a journey between them covers Zones A, B and C and pays the 3-zone fare: £12.00 contactless or £10.20 on Breeze for a car. The road lets you drive it in both directions. This is the whole road: 27 miles from the M42 and M6 J3a end to M6 J11a near Cannock, through all three zones. Each direction passes one mainline plaza, Great Wyrley northbound and Weeford Park southbound.
Which way the road lets you drive it
Several M6 Toll junctions only work in one direction, so a journey that looks fine on a map may not be possible. These movements come from the operator’s junction map.
T1 to T8: yes
The toll is taken at the Great Wyrley mainline plaza, between T6 and T7.
T8 to T1: yes
The toll is taken at the Weeford Park mainline plaza, between T4 and T3.
