Tamar Crossings Confirms Christmas and New Year Opening Times and Free Tolls

Tamar Crossings has set out its Christmas and New Year plans, including free tolls on Christmas Day and a full breakdown of ferry timetables and customer service opening hours.

Free Tolls on Christmas Day

Tolls on both the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry will be suspended from 0000 to 2359 on 25th December 2025.
