The toll tickets issued by the current franchisee (i.e. the Tate's Cairn Tunnel Company Limited) will not be accepted for payment of tolls at the TCT from July 11. At the same time, government tunnel toll tickets can be used at the TCT. Eligible drivers with disabilities can produce free tickets for government tunnels to toll collectors when using the TCT from the same day.
