I see, thats what I thought about initially. As I did not see
any signs and I also went to the gov website and did not see
anything
I will give it a shot and post a draft soon,
many thanks

The Blackwall Tunnel was always free to use, going back years.
The new toll charge only became payable when the new Silvertown
Tunnel was completed and opened to traffic on the 7th April
2025. So the Silvertown has been chargeable since inception.
Mention that you weren't aware that charges had been introduced
on the previously free Blackwall tunnels. Since you don't live
near the crossings you would never have received any of the
publicity material concerning the new charges. Terribly sorry,
an honest mistake, first offence that could happen to anyone and
now that you know you will make sure to pay-up next time. It's
worth a go.

Hello
APPEAL AGAINST PCN XXXXXXXX
I hereby want to use this medium to appeal against the above
issued PCN XXXXXXXXX
I live in Yorkshire, and was visiting my family in London for
the weekend and drove past the Dartford bridge and avoided
central London congestion charges
On getting back home, I went online and paid the Dartford
crossing, ( Kindly see attached evidence) and went on the
government website www.gov.uk to search if, I had any other
outstanding charges and inputted my vehicle reg, but nothing
came up
I hereby ask this charge be waived as a one time GESTURE OF GOOD
WILL
REASON FOR WAIVER
1. Firstly I am a software developer and currently out of work.
As I lost my job and currently searching for a new job
2. I honestly did not see any signs of payment reminders while
driving through
3. I have driven past the tunnel a couple of years back and
again never saw any signs
4 Going online, see attachments. I realized this charge was only
recently introduced 7th April 2025
In light of the above
I hereby request as a gesture of good will and owing to my
currently circumstances of being unemployed to kindly waive the
charges
As I have a teenage daughter and currently paying child
maintenance and struggling
Many thanks

It's not clear what routes you took, when you say you drove past
Dartford do you mean you used the Dartford Crossing on your
journey from Yorkshire to south London, then used the
Silvertown/Blackwall tunnel on your way back to Yorkshire?

What do you mean by entering your reg on gov.uk?
I would make more of checking - that the tunnel tolls are not
included (yet) on the list is a big deal in my view and how
would you know that the Blackwall Tunnel is TFL or even what TFL
is.
