NORTH-WEST Hampshire MP Sir George Young is continuing his campaign for more car parking at Grateley, Andover, Whitchurch and Overton railway stations.
During a transport debate in the House of Commons he asked: "Does the minister agree that a major constraint on the capacity of the rail network is the capacity of station car parks?
"Will he have urgent discussions with Network Rail and South West Trains with a view to increasing capacity on the Waterloo to Salisbury line, so that more people who want to travel by train off-peak can do so?"
He was told that while the Government accepted that enhanced car park capacity encouraged more people to use the railways, parking facilities were a matter not for the Government but for local authorities, Network Rail and, occasionally, the train operating companies.

More car parking spaces for small stations just means more commuters from Newbury who dislike going to London via Reading. Add another 50 spaces and they will be full by 9am weekdays as soon as word gets round.
