T2 to T4 FAQ
How much is T2 to T4 on the M6 Toll?
A car (Class 2) pays £9.10 contactless or £8.00 with a Breeze account, the 2-zone rate. The trip starts in Zone 1 (T2) and ends in Zone 2 (T4).
Why does T2 to T4 cost the same as T1 to T4?
Both are 2-zone trips. T1 and T2 sit inside Zone 1, T4 sits inside Zone 2. The zone count for a T1-to-T4 and a T2-to-T4 journey is identical, so the rate is identical at £9.10 for a car. T2 just saves you the 4-mile approach south to T1.
What is at T4 for Sutton Coldfield commuters?
T4 is the cleanest exit for north Lichfield and Burntwood, both of which have meaningful commuter draw from Sutton Coldfield. The A5127 from T4 reaches central Lichfield in 5 minutes and Burntwood village in 8 to 10.
How long does T2 to T4 take?
Around 9 to 11 minutes on the toll at the 70 mph limit, plus 60 to 90 seconds at the southbound plaza between T3 and T4 (which the T2-to-T4 northbound trip also passes structurally, billed by ANPR).
Is the toll worth it for Sutton to Lichfield?
The free alternative is A5127 directly north through Mile Oak, Shenstone and into Lichfield. Around 8 miles versus 11 on the toll. Off-peak the A5127 is faster and free. The toll wins at school-run hours and on Lichfield event days (cathedral services, Bower festival) when the A5127 backs up through Shenstone and Lichfield centre.
