Looks like there's been a changeover from RingGo at First Capital Connect too ...

http://blog.stuart-pinfold.co.uk/2012/06/fcc-apcoa-parking-changes/
I found this out when parking at Bedford last weekend.  Shocked to find it wanted to charge a fee to pay by credit card.  FCC▸ (First Capital Connect) doing what they do best.

If I'm not mistaken, at FGW▸ (First Great Western) stations, you actually receive a small discount for paying by phone.

If memory serves me right there is now a surcharge for the 'convenience' of paying by phone. At Bristol Parkway, though, there was a very small discount available to train travellers by keying in the day's 'code' displayed inside the station. Does this still apply?

Can't answer your question, North Devonian, as I don't drive. Hopefully someone will be along shortly to give you the answer. In the meantime may I extend a very warm welcome to the Coffee Shop forum.  Smiley

I can confirm at Slough and Taplow there was (maybe still is haven't checked lately) a very nice sentance on the instruction board to say there will be a charge of 20p for booking by Ringo for "your convinience".

Odd use of the word convenience

I don't think APCOA▸ (Car parking company used at GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) - controlled stations in the area) Connect ever charged.

Just phoned up and it had all my details stored from last time (car reg and location).  Cost was quoted as ^1.90, which is the standard fee at Hayes & Harlington.  No additional costs.
