As reported in today's papers:
Top 10 most expensive train station car parks in the UK are:
Reading - £23.70
Southampton Airport Parkway - £15
Guildford - £14.50
Brighton - £13.10
Ebbsfleet - £12.60
Coventry - £12
Macclesfield - £12
Milton Keynes - £10.80
Billericay - £10.60
Woking - £10.50
I live near Southampton Parkway. I had always thought of it as very expensive but had not realised that it was in the top 2. Despite that, it is often full; I would guess that a fair proportion is claimed back on expenses for people having to make business day trips to London but I have no idea of knowing what percentage that would be. The season ticket prices do not offer that much saving.
I will add that after 10:45 the price reduces to £6 for off peak travellers and leisure travellers allowing you to be in London by 12:20. I have paid that price but as I approach the station I do wonder if there will still be spaces at 11:00. So far I have always got one but I have been in the last few sometimes.
