How much is T3 to T7 on the M6 Toll?
A car (Class 2) pays £9.10 contactless, or £8.00 with a Breeze account. The 2-zone rate applies because T3 sits on the Zone 1 / Zone 2 boundary and T7 sits inside Zone 3, so the journey covers Zone 2 and Zone 3.
What is the practical use case for T3 to T7?
Tamworth and Drayton Manor commuters heading to Cannock or Hednesford for work, or vice versa. T3 is the closest junction to Tamworth town centre, and T7 sits on the A460 corridor for Cannock and Hednesford.

Northbound from T3: yes, you cross the northbound plaza between T6 and T7 just before exiting. Southbound from T7: yes, you cross the southbound plaza between T3 and T4 just before exiting. Contactless drivers tap once; Breeze and Lite users handle billing by ANPR with no stopping.

Around 12 to 14 minutes on the toll at 70 mph, plus 60 to 90 seconds at the plaza. The A5 free alternative through Brownhills takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on Brownhills town traffic, so the toll typically saves 20 minutes.
