M6 Toll T3 to T8 cost
T3 (Langley Mill) is in Zone B and T8 (M6 J11a) is in Zone C, so a journey between them covers Zones B and C 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. T3 is on the A38 for Tamworth and Sutton Coldfield; T8 rejoins the free M6 at J11a for Stafford and the north. Starting at T1 instead would add Zone A and cost £12.00.
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.
T3 to T8: yes
The toll is taken at the Great Wyrley mainline plaza, between T6 and T7.
T8 to T3: yes
The toll is taken at the Weeford Park mainline plaza, between T4 and T3.
