First act of the SNP was the abolition of all bridge tolls in Scotland. Very popular then and now.
As I recall, the real boil that needed lancing was the exorbitant toll on the new Skye road bridge - which was the only way somebody could get off the island short of taking an enormous (and very expensive) detour via either Mallaig or Stornoway and Ullapool. It was always stupid to charge a toll on that one.
The M25 bridge over the Thames was meant to be free after the construction was paid for.
It would be very popular to remove the toll from that now.
Oh dear - Donald Trump tweeted overnight after the debate, saying that the real debate loser was Megyn Kelly, and calling her a bimbo.

A bit like Michael Clarke's batting/captaincy in this series...
Ashes stats: London tube drivers currently have a greater strike rate than Michael Clarke...
But don't worry - he's working hard in the nets!
If I were Clarke, I would take advantage of surely not having to take further part in the match by writing a letter of resignation, calling on the Australian selectors to resign as well.
The report suggests that the huge public subsidy to HS2, an estimated net £31.5 billion
Wow, but didn't it cost something like 10bn to half upgrade the WCML a few years back?
Given that the current network is over capacity and they need to open up more lines from London, does anyone know what would it cost for a non-HS line to be built instead?
The same? How much - including noise and planning issues - can be different? But what would be the point of building another low speed line? The existing low speed line will benefit from the capacity gain of the HSL.

Don't see it happening though.
