There are upcoming engineering works near my local station, and the engineers have decided to close about 80% of the station car park ( few hundred pounds worth of parking spaces revenue will be lost)
Remaining car park was full by 08:00 and people have had to drive away again and abandon journey so GWR also losing passengers (and revenue)
They have even trapped in lots of cars already there when they erected the temporary fence.
GWR are not advertising disruption or car park full on their website.
Seems to me the fencing in cars and not advertising car park closure at Bradford-on-Avon is just showing the railways engineers don't give a stuff about passengers and income for the railways, am I being harsh, or do others think it is fair.
Clearly works need to happen, but this unadvertised blocking of passengers on day before when the passengers are trying to fit around the advertised days of closure seems wrong to me.
My question is, should GWR advertise car park full and should they have allowed the nearest day with trains running to blatantly stop passengers from trying to use railway
