M6 Toll to go contactless

The UK's M6 Toll road will start accepting contactless payments in a trial beginning in the autumn, according to Midland Expressway who run the toll. The technology will come into full use early in 2012, in time for the London Olympics. Midland Expressway are working with Barclaycard and CreditCall to install the new readers which will allow drivers to simply tap their card as they drive through the toll. It is hoped that the move will make using the toll quicker and easier for drivers.
