Station Car Park

Steve: have seen no left luggage lockers anywhere in Britain for a good 20 years. IRA were to blame originally but they have now subcontracted the terror franchise to Al Qaeda! There used to be a very useful left luggage office on Manchester Piccadilly station for many years, and if memory serves it was FOC to leave items there! Has now been replaced by a Travelex office which charges £5 per item min. The most extensive range of lockers I've seen is to be found at Munich Hauptbahnhof - not very convenient for Charlbury!

For terrorism risk read paranoia surely!

There is definitely going to be more bike racks, and they are deciding the best place for drop off, as well as taxi waiting and the bus stop.

No chance of left luggage lockers owing to the terrorism threat.

Does anyone know if there will be a drop-off/pick-up point, as in many other station car parks? I noticed recently that some correspondents had complained about drivers waiting on yellow lines, and a drop-off point would be a good way of rectifying that problem.

I've heard second-hand that it does - the suggestion was two of the large covered racks as found at Hanborough (info was from a WODC source who asked Network Rail). But I've not seen any plans for this so I guess we need to wait for a formal announcement.

Do we know if this includes more bike parking?

Good News - car park!
Bad News - potential closure of ticket office (according to TSSA)!

Great to hear about the extension to the Car Park - only 15 years to make that happen! How about some left luggage lockers?
