Many NECPWA Members use the Tyne Tunnel to get to/from events so please be aware:

Class 2 and Class 3 Toll Increase May 2023

The Tyne and Wear Sub Committee confirmed that the Tyne Tunnel toll will increase from £1.90 to £2.20 for Class 2 and £3.90 to £4.40 for Class 3 from May 2023.

Account holders will still receive a 10% discount on their journey, making the new toll for account holders £1.98 (Class 2) and £3.96 (Class 3).

The upkeep and construction costs of the tunnels are solely funded by tolls, not council tax, and the toll increase, applied under the terms of the River Tyne (Tunnels) Order, is necessary to cover the running and maintenance costs of the tunnels, and repay the costs of the construction of the second tunnel, in line with inflation.
