Tunnel trouble

CAN it just be coincidence that just as the Cross-Harbour Tunnel Company is going big guns in encouraging motorists to take up places in the autopay toll-tag system, the temper-boiling delays at the tunnel appear to have escalated? Some might, perhaps cynically, suggest the delays are a clever marketing ploy aimed at concentrating the minds of irritated drivers on the wisdom of the autopay lanes - the bold advertisements for which they can hardly miss as they sit in the long lines of traffic.

Wonder what tunnel manager David Reid thinks about that?
