A toll bridge. How community spirited of them. Why arn't I

surprised.

Now, now! That's like calling any two entrance gated station a toll


bridge.


I'd have gone with toll tunnel!, but as you suggest, and as pointed

out by
others back in November, it works exactly the same as if you entered

and
left any other barriered station between 2 and 30 mins later. (IIRC

someone
posted those exact figures.)


Guildford station is or was a free bridge. When I last noticed there
was a machine that dispensed free platform tickets.

Any recent news or other examples ?
