Wrong thread, moron. Try the hs2 oneThread title reminded me of this
Don't you just pay the extra amount when leaving ?
I've always done that and had no issues.
My only sympathy goes to those staff who's shifts start and finish outside of public transport times. I'd love to get public transport to work, I'd save 1000s every year.
This. I parked at the private one at Durham a couple of months ago as the main one was full. All three ticket machines were out of order and I was going in for an operation so a bit flustered. I left a note, checked again when I got back out, nowt on windscreen.
10 weeks later I get a 'parking charge' with pictures of my car , £90 or £45 if I pay now. Normally I might have ignored it and let them bring it on, but I've got enough on without a bunch of sharks chasing me and threatening court so I paid up.
There isn't any 'car park people' in that car park. I've read there's a bloke waits in his own car who goes round taking the photos.Have you ever been on a bus or a train? I suggest doing some research before making claims like that.
You should have gone and spoken to the car park people in the visitors car park and they would have sorted it out for you. When my daughter had surgery she drove in but couldn't drive home as she had a general anaesthetic. She spoke to the car park attendant and arranged for the car to stay overnight in the car park and she collected it the next morning. She didn't have to pay anything extra.
Oh we are told we shouldn't whine because we can always leave 30 mins earlier and pay £1.80 a day for the park and rideDisgraceful that they have to pay to park where they work ffs. Absolutely disgraceful.
Whoever implemented parking fines for hospitals? Was it Blair or was it Brown? Dreadful decision, one which the Coalition, Cameron or May should really have repealed.
Arise sir monkeytassleYou would? Public transport is expensive as fuck. £6 from Crook to Durham, it's 9 miles.
I'd tell the private firm to f***ing do one myself, no doubt they'll be some champions of the private sector to stick up for them on here.
Fuck them. Fuck them all.
Thatcher's England.These parking companies are sharks man, disgrace thst nurses, cleaners etc have to pay £30-40 a month to park. Shame they dont work in a Scottish hospital. Also a disgrace they use these sharks to chase people down for parking fees by the minute.
It's the same as lots of businesses.Disgraceful that they have to pay to park where they work ffs. Absolutely disgraceful.

All good points. I need my car for work tho so i either pay or inconvenience myself considerably by parking a fair way away from the site. (Which I do).It's a tough one to call. Many hospitals are in town and city centres where space is sparse. You offer car parking free and by 9am they will be full with city workers and those who need it for the hospital will be fucked.
How many spaces do you offer for staff at the end of the day... Allocate one per person ?
Many places up and down the country do t have enough parking for all the staff.
The article I read said they could have parked a 15 minute walk away...
That is bugger all at the end of the day.
I do 20 minutes each way to the train station. I bet there are some parking there who live no more than 15-20 minutes walk away
I bet County Durham has roughly the most expensive worst public transport system in the country.You would? Public transport is expensive as fuck. £6 from Crook to Durham, it's 9 miles.

Is it bugger all at the end of a 12/13 hour day or night shift. With possibly another 30-minutes to an hour drive home?

As for free parking will mean city workers will just park there, I'm sure they could manage some sort of parking permit or ANPR for staff only??

Of course I have. It's not very often as I live rurally and every 2 hrs from 0700-1700 isn't great for getting about. I used the buses and tube in London when I lived there and I cycled to work as Heathrow was easier by bike than tube from where we lived. If I lived in a city now, we would only have 1 car (like what we did in London)as opposed to 2 for sure.Have you ever been on a bus or a train?

It seems they have a staff parking programme by i say.. how many do you allocate. If staff then take up most he carparks where are patients going too park.
As I said it can be a tough one especially when space is limited
You need to be innovative. Offer guaranteed space for those that carshare for instance

Aye there's definitely not enough space. I know some hospitals will guarantee workers on night shifts free parking, but I don't know how common that is?
The people hit with these fines have gone about this the completely wrong way as well. Can't see how they were ever going to win.
