@ANDYPVFC @Gatwick_Airport @FluffyRona And it just gets better ! Pixk up tonight , no record of my vehicle on the ANPR so no £10 charge made on autopay - if not picked up - guaranteed PCN would be on its way . NCP and gatwick - absolute shambles

@shanksy58 @Gatwick_Airport @FluffyRona Tbf Manchester is £25 if you go over 10mins. Basically they are all the same a totally piss take mate

.@Gatwick_Airport £10 for a three minute drop off? How else are people who don’t live near a station supposed to get to the airport? This is criminal profiteering. #shameful

@ANDYPVFC @Gatwick_Airport @FluffyRona Gatwick us no different with that £1 a minute to £25 . Stansted is £25 immediately after the 10 min limit . They used to try to charge that when you'd be stuck on the drop off zone due to traffic and ran out of time ( pre ANPR )

@Gatwick_Airport @FluffyRona Funny how the other airports that also pay business rates havent upped theirs to £10 ( yet )

@FluffyRona Hi, the increase isn't a decision we've taken lightly. We're facing a number of increasing costs, including a more than doubling of our business rates. We continue to offer 2 hrs free parking in our long-stay car parks, with a free shuttle bus-Em

@Gatwick_Airport @DadTaxi1 @easyJet There was me thinking gatwick gave the excuse prior to this one that it was due to the rise in business rates in the budget . Be nice if you could get the story straight . Rank profiteering . Thats all it is . Simple as that .

@DadTaxi1 @easyJet reduces congestion and funds a number of sustainable transport initiatives. It also plays a role in encouraging more passengers and staff to use public transport to reach the airport. Thanks, Grace

How does @Gatwick_Airport substantiate a £10 drop off charge when my @easyJet flight in January costs €19? #ripoffbritain

@HighwaysSEAST A collision with a bridge - question - how on earth did the driver manage to do that ? M25 wrecked again on a monday morning

The #M25 is closed clockwise between J3 (#M20) and J4 #Bromley due to a collision More information and diversion route here: nationalhighways.co.uk/travel-updates…

The #M25 is closed clockwise between J3 (#M20) and J4 #Bromley due to a collision More information to follow

@KayteeJayne93 @MichaelPhi55951 @HighwaysEAST @HighwaysSEAST @DartCharge A crime scene ? One person had minor injuries . Accident - diesel spill - road needs resurfacing and crash barriers need repairing . Thats why its closed - why it takes so long is the question that needs to be asked

@MichaelPhi55951 @HighwaysEAST @HighwaysSEAST @DartCharge Not acceptable? It’s possibly a crime scene now! So yes it’ll stay closed until updates on the people who were INVOLVED in the accident your comments not acceptable

The #A282 #QEIIBridge @dartcharge is closed southbound due to a serious collision involving a car and HGV which has caused a large fuel spillage across all lanes. Please see enclosed link for further details and diversion route nationalhighways.co.uk/travel-updates…

@Dave_whufc @Gatwick_Airport I dont always get an email confirmation from Manual pay and their system.dowsnt even log my reg number captured by the cameras ( 3 times today at the south - did a 4th earlier - let's see .... that one its taken - its the inconsistency thats frustrating

@Dave_whufc @Gatwick_Airport Not easy to do because they dont take it immediately - matchimg them up not straight forward . doing as many as we usually do in the summer its hard to keep track - if only you could have an auto pay system to make life easier - so you dont.forget & get a fine......

@Gatwick_Airport can you explain why I bother to have auto pay ? Yet again today it doesn't work- have to manually pay each time & the cameras arent even picking the reg number & you blame us for not checking when you send a pcn - sort this shit show out .

@Dave_whufc @Gatwick_Airport Yet again more sporadic autopay - takes some on Wednesday, Thursday all 3 not picked up thus far - south terminal. You contract ncp to administer this - they are failing - how does an autopay that doesnt work make life easier for us ? SORT IT OUT ,the buck stops with you

@Gatwick_Airport @shanksy58 As its run on your behalf, what is your stand on this company's inability to manage this correctly! It's not a simple mistake but a recurring problem. What's your policy on mental health & how it affects people when having a fine hanging over them due to your operators' failings?

@Gatwick_Airport Who contracted ncp to run the system on their behalf in the first place ? Who does this reflect badly upon ? Who benefits financially from this ? NCPwill give a standard response amd are zero help . Gatwick needs to kick someones backside in NCP and get it sorted

@Gatwick_Airport Be good if your autopay system actually worked. Sporadic at best reading the reg number . YET AGAIN I have to manually pay for another drop off - make life easier ?? Forget - have a PCN because our system is useless

Our forecourt drop-off charge is changing from 2 May. The minimum charge to use our designated drop-off zones will increase by £1 to £7. You can pay online, over the phone, or by setting up an AutoPay account. You can still drop off for free in the Long Stay car parks. Blue Badge holders remain exempt from the charge.

@russelllevy @phv2022 @TheLTDA @LTDAForum Probably went to get his coffee . Expensive coffee . Reason why uber and bolt are used - local cabs non existent these days

77474 badge parked on rank at Swanley station , received a ticket this morning, be expensive if he's away for a long weekend. Ticket guy round here is ruthless @TheLTDA @LTDAForum

@burnsieboy65 @PaulDDDaughters @TfLTPH 2009 reg 😀

@PaulDDDaughters @TfLTPH Yes it probably was back in 2016 when this clip was taken. 😂

Did you know this PH vehicle was licensed by @TfLTPH 🤦🏻‍♂️ #WomensDay2025

@HighwaysSEAST Another bike collision ?

Traffic has been stopped on the #A282 northbound at the A296/A225 junction due to a collision Traffic is backed up to the #M25 J3 Please be patient while we assess the incident

@RWA5H @HighwaysEAST @OntheA12Essex Indeed it is - a decent strategy. Traffic starts at j3 😬

*Update* The #A282 north #DartfordEastTunnel remains closed following a large spillage within the tunnel that requires emergency resurfacing works Due to the extent of the works, the east tunnel will remain closed throughout the day. There are severe delays on all approaches

@Gatwick_Airport what's the point of having an autopay account for drop off when ncp sometimes don't bother to take it . If I hadn't have checked I'd be getting a pcn through the post for your and their incompetence. Sort it out !

@DaleSteyn62 I hope you put into practice the bowling tips you learnt in the states 🤣

First game of cricket in 3 years yesterday. Woke up today feeling like I’ve played a test match! Plenty fun, but very content with my decision to stay in retirement. 😂

New season, Division 1 cricket awaits. 💛💙 We’re ready, Are you? >> bitly.ws/BdBY #ForTheNorth
