A notorious toll bridge has been named in the top 12 highest earning in the UK in a new study.

The Swinford Toll Bridge near Eynsham rakes in £190,000 a year, according to Moneybarn Car Finance which placed it 11th in a list of toll roads' total revenue on a weekday.

The bridge, which costs 5p for cars, is frequently blamed for causing queues especially during rush hour.

Oxfordshire County Council, which is responsible for the road network, has accepted that toll collection causes delays at peak times of day.

In May, a bus and a trailer got wedged on the bridge, blocking it for 25 minutes and causing delays in the area.

Last summer, two large vehicles got stuck, resulting in a jam that stretched in both directions.

But a campaign calling for the county council to buy it when it came up for sale proved unsuccessful as the council could not afford it.

According to Land Registry documents, the bridge is owned by Robert Standing, of 10 Grosvenor Street, London, who bought it for £1.8million in 2010.

However, its revenue is way behind that of other toll bridges mentioned in the research.

Dartford Crossing on the M25 in Essex is the toll bridge earning the highest revenue of £209 million per year.

The M6 Toll road, which is owned by Midland Expressway, earns the second highest revenue of £53.7 million per year.

And the Mersey Gateway in Cheshire, connecting the towns of Runcorn and Widnes, is the third highest earning toll road, making more than £40 million between October 2020 and September 2021.
