Today I crossed Whitchurch Bridge, which is near Pangbourne in Berkshire. Which is to say, I paid the toll, and drove my car across.

It's mad that in 2024, there's a private toll bridge. But also it's weird and cool. It was operated via an Act of Parliament.

There's a toll booth only on one side, so I actually crossed *then* paid. They do accept card/contactless to pay the 60p crossing fee.

But, £1 is charged to your card, then they give you 40p cash as change! Delightfully British and mad.
