Wrote:  Don’t quote me as I’ve not looked it up in a long time but I believe the local bus company were to do something such as provide registration plate details of buses that were likely to used on routes crossing the SJB and that ANPR camera would recognise the plate of the vehicle (How they know it’s used in passenger service without checking every photo of every bus that crosses I couldn’t tell you) and that the bus wouldn’t be charged for crossing. Where as non PSV vehicles such as private hire would.

The exemption doesn’t apply to the new bridge.

Apparently they register the amount of crossings service buses make on a timetable schedule in a day and anything over that is then charged at full rate.
For example if the timetables say that runcorn operate 300 service trips thats on timetables a day then they are allowed 300 crossings in that day so long as it matches the timetables then anything over 300 will then be charged at the going rate if its understandable how ivd put it lol.
