Any recent success with Silvertown / Blackwall tunnel PCN appeal
?

I’d like to ask if anybody recently successfully appealed
against a Blackwall tunnel / Silvertown tunnel PCN?
I genuinely did not see any signage and my sat nav did not flag
it as a toll road. I drove to the o2, somewhere I would always
take the train to. On this day the jubilee line was down due to
engineering works. This seems a new tunnel that was only built
last year and I’ve clearly missed the signs to pay.
I’ve since set up autopay but if anybody has any advice on
successfully appealing can you please share?
I’ve read up that they allowed some people when it first opened.
Hoping they still excuse first time mistakes. I only got 1 PCN
which is some goodwill as. When I spoke to their helpline they
said it should have been 2 as I used both ways.
Please advise if you need any further details …

They may use discretion but the grace period has long gone.
You can point out that the tunnels are not listed on the
government's toll road page.
How come they said the return has not triggered a PCN - this
seems unlikely.

Yes I saw that link shared on another post and worth adding in.
I rang and they said it would be unfair to penalise you twice.
So it’s just the one PCN. Cos I was worried one got lost in the
post as I used twice. But they seem to be allowing the first use
and charging for way back.
£8 cost will cost £90 which is very unfair imo. Happy to pay £8
if there is a way!
Any others thoughts welcome
