Severn Bridge accepting credit cards

[Puggit]

I'm not sure when this changed but I saw someone paying with a credit card today. I asked the booth worker and he confirmed that "unfortunately" they are now accepting cards.

Looks like a slow manual process and it's not being advertised in the automatic coin bin lanes!

Surely a prime candidate for the contactless technology?

How can they have managed that? M6 Toll card system works very well (as does every similar card system on tolls throughout Europe).

How can they have looked at all of those real life examples and turned it into a manual process?!?!

Its not "flash and dash",in the slot,pin number,grab card and go.Went through Friday and was in the "cash in the bin" lane and noticed a card symbol on the big signs above.Great as I did not have the correct amount in coins.
