I'm hoping to get to Vapefest this year & will be driving, but this M6 toll booth malarky has me totally perplexed.....Can anyone north of Watford put me in the picture?....as far as I can tell, approaching from the M1 northbound, I veer off onto the M6 & then sling a right onto the M42. I'm basically trying to body swerve giving Cameron any more money than is necessary.
If you see signs for Glasgow, you've gone too far!
he......hee.....That's pretty cool that...............any idea how far up the M6 that M42 turn off is?...........just in case I mistake it for the Glasgow one............
Chris, the pic I've shown is assuming you're on the M42 and wishing to avoid the M6 Toll... so it's approaching J9 on the M42 and intending to stay on it. A few years ago I travelled the toll road every week for 6 months. It is an excellent road but there again I just put the tolls down to expenses.
I think I've got it....I leave the M1 at J19 onto the M6...Leave M6 at J3A onto the M42.....leave M42 at J10 onto A5 into Tamworth.....& I presume it's a reverse for the return journey & this will avoid tolls....I'm travelling from London.

* or maybe that should be leaving the M6 at J4
I think it's J3A... but just keep your wits about you approaching the junctions and give yourself plenty of time to get in the right lane.
.... and when you get to Scotland, send us all a postcard! Good luck and have a great time.
Before you get to the pic posted by Raffles, you will get to here, junction 3A, just follow the middle option - M6 The N. West, B'ham.
Then you need to keep left to stay on m42/m6 then stick right in the M6 lanes
But if there is a queue like that, it is well worth using the toll. I always use it as the M6 around the north of Brum is awful. In fact, I drove up and down it yesterday.
The road is privately owned, so only some of the money goes to the government
