A couple who were holidaying in the UK, and used a hire car to travel from Edinburgh to Whitby in North Yorkshire, have been slapped with a fine for not paying at a tunnel toll. Clive, 76 and Sadie Johnson, 69 live in South Africa but are originally from England.
The pensioners travelled through Tyne Tunnel during their three-week trip, They passed through the tunnel in a motor they hired from Europcar on September 20.
Clive and Sandie claim they tried to pay the £1.90 fee online but when they confirmed they were in a hire care they say there was no option to progress or pay. Sandie said she also tried to call Tyne Tunnel but she was unable to get answers from the automated system, Chronicle Live reports.
