i went to Kirkstall Forge Station yesterday with the intention of spending a while on the platform doing a bit of spotting and photos etc. It’s a while since I was last there and the station car park which holds about 100 cars at a guess was completely full. There are other car parks but they are for the offices and you need a pass to get in. Apart from a handful of on street parking places (all of which were taken) the rest of the area is double yellow lines. I stopped in a ‘pull in’ lay-by for the main office block to gather my thoughts and decide what to do, when immediately someone from the office block came out and asked what my intention were as I could not park there. (This was literally less than one minute after pulling in) They were very pleasant and explained that this was an increasing problem and if the car park was full the only alternative was to drive back to the main road (which is all double yellow lines) and onto a residential area and use the on street parking, which if you are familiar with the area is a considerable distance, and still a busy road if you wanted to leave your car there for several hours.
Does anyone know if there is any intention to provide more parking because if I wanting to park and ride on a regular basis it would certainly put me off?
