1  Journey by Journey / London to Reading / Re: Car park increases at Slough and Burnham on: September 23, 2009, 15:54:19
Thank you all.  As I understand it, FGW (First Great Western) subsidises carparks but has now found that it's getting out of pocket so it's culling back on funding, hence the increases by Apcoa.  Half of me is minded to call for a petition.  The other half is telling me to encourage my local station's users not to park there until the prices of parking is reduced. 
2  Journey by Journey / London to Reading / Congestion at Slough Station on: September 22, 2009, 10:50:30
Having posted one topic this morning, I feel the need to vent.  Each time I am at Slough Station, I am amazed at the congestion on the staircase between platforms 3 and 4.  This is seriously going to injure someone and people lack patience.  I think it's high time that an escalator was installed.  Does anyone agree?
Thx
3  Journey by Journey / London to Reading / Car park increases at Slough and Burnham on: September 22, 2009, 10:48:35
Hello,
No doubt you've noticed the increase in carpark charges at Slough and Burnham.  I normally park at Burnham and the increase has meant an increase from ^3.90 to ^5 (which is what the daily rate at Slough used to be).  I find this an astronomical and unjustified increase.  I was wondering what we can do about it.  Please can you let me know your thoughts and I would be happy to take appropriate steps.
Thx
