Drivers using the M6 Toll Road will from next year be able to pay for their journey using contactless credit and debit cards. Contactless will initially be trialled on a single lane from this autumn, with the aim of rolling the technology out across all card-accepting toll booths in the first quarter of 2012.

Richard Armstrong, head of Barclaycard UK Payment Acceptance, says: “The contactless terminals at card payment lanes at the toll payment plazas will not only cut queues, but will also help drivers avoid the potentially dangerous scrabble for change.”

Tom Fanning, chief executive at the M6 Toll, comments: “Over 40,000 drivers benefit from the ease and reliability of the M6 Toll every day. The introduction of contactless is the latest step in making card payment as quick and easy as using the road itself. In helping bring this innovation to drivers, Barclaycard has been a perfect partner – working with us to implement the new system. We will soon be able to demonstrate the value of contactless to our customers, who will, I am certain, welcome this innovation.”
