    Hi All,

    Maybe someone can help me out here! I travel from Mullingar to Dublin.If I leave the M4 motorway via the Enfield exit do I still have to pay the toll charge on the slip road?

    Thanks in advance,

    Beller81.

    yes you have to pay the full toll charge. However, if you decide to go back onto the motorway at enfield you can pass through the main toll free provided you keep the receipt and within certain time limits, i think 2 hours. this was done to facilitate stopping for lunch etc. But with the new service stations now, i`m not so sure. I usually exit at kinnegad as the jeep i drive (sorrento) calls up a toll charge of 5.20 for some reason. Might have to get it reweighted (use the e-tags)

    Kinda on the same note.....is there local access to the new motorway services or is the M4 enterance the only way to access it? Can you use the ovepass right beside them to go from east to west?

    A few of us were having the crack today about driving to Burger King for a late night feast but would have to pass through the toll twice!!

    Not a clue about access other than from the motorway but i called in on my way back from dublin last saturday & the whole place was shut, this was at about half 11, just 1 guy at the apple green serving through the hatch. I'm afraid your late night feast would probably have to be more evening!

    Is it a van style jeep? Cos I know some people were giving out that when they had a commercial small car, like a fiesta van for instance, they were charged the higher van rate at the toll booth. Basically if your vehicle has panels instead of windows on the back doors then expect to pay higher.
