M6toll waives fees for thousands of Ride to the Wall bikers 

1 min read

Thousands of motorcyclists will pass through the M6toll without charge tomorrow as the operator provides free passage during this year’s Ride to the Wall event. 

The charity event unites bikers from the UK and abroad to honour and remember service men and women whilst raising funds for the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas. 

Around 2,000 bikers are expected to pass through the toll booths on their way to the arboretum, saving around £9,000 in toll costs thanks to Midland Expressway Limited. 

Martin Dickinson, founder of Ride to the Wall, said: “We are back for the 17th year, which is an amazing achievement. We are grateful for the support of M6toll in making this route affordable for all the bikers taking part.” 

Riders will start from 11 points across the Midlands, travelling through the T5 (Shenstone) and T6 (Burntwood) plazas between 9.30am and 11am. 

Participants are requested to familiarise themselves with the routes and follow instructions from marshals.
