M6 Toll T6 to T8 cost
T6 (Burntwood) 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. It is short, but it crosses the Great Wyrley plaza, where Zone B becomes Zone C, so it is not a single-zone journey. Norton Canes services sit on this stretch, between T6 and T7, and stopping there does not change the fare.
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.
T6 to T8: yes
The toll is taken at the Great Wyrley mainline plaza, between T6 and T7.
T8 to T6: yes
The toll is taken at the toll station on the T6 exit slip.
