It's the radom 2hour gaps that bug me between 0700-0900 and 1300-1500. The only time FGW▸ have 2 stops per hour is between 0600-0700 and 2000-2100. Every XC▸ Monday-Friday stops there though. Of course i'm just talking about personal inconvenience and having to rely on XC  |

Judging from the regularly full main and overflow car parks at Tiverton Parkway further parking will soon be needed to cope with growing demand there.Door to door for many its now quicker to drive directly to Tiverton Parkway instead of catching the train from say Barnstaple,Exeter and even Plymouth to London.Are there any plans to add more car parking space at Tiverton Parkway.

The overflow car park is only about 2 years old I think, so good to see that needing expanding too!

I rather think relex109's question was seeking information as to where people travel from (by road) to reach Tiverton Parkway - where they then switch to a train for their onward journey.  A fair point, too: with its easy access from the motorway, Tiverton Parkway must attract travellers from communities a fair distance around, surely? |

Was told that some people now buy their train tickets at Barnstaple and drive to Tivvy as the booking office there is not always available instead of taking the train to Exeter.Also I think a survey of Tivvy users was done a while back which showed their were many users were driving via the A30/M5 from parts of cornwall at least.Is there official up to date information on the origin of Tivvy users.

Similar situation, but I used to travel to Totnes if travelling further afield (from Paignton area), rather than getting the train from Paignton simply because it's far easier than changing trains at Newton Abbot - plus getting into Paignton town centre was always a nightmare.

I did realise that Relax109's question meant where people drove from, to reach Tivvy P. Just couldn't help myself, Sorry Relex109  |

From thisisthewestcountry: Cheaper parking at Tiverton train station Day trippers hopping on the train at Tiverton can now park at the station for less than half price. First Great Western has cut the cost of parking at Tiverton Parkway from ^6.10 to ^3 until October. Station manager Tracy McCarthy said: ^As one of the UK▸ ^s leading transport providers First Great Western is committed to supporting the communities we serve. Ensuring that we continue to put our customers first and help communities prosper, we hope this reduction will help customers enjoy a day out or take that train journey they^ve always dreamed of.^ The offer applies to the overflow car park after 10am on weekdays and all day at weekends. The discount runs until Saturday, October 12, and you must pay through the APCOA▸ Cashless Connect mobile system, not at the meter. |

I await with great interest the publication of market research regarding the "dream train journeys" that budding Tiverton Parkway customers would previously have made, if only their car parking had been ^3.10 cheaper...

From ThisIsTheWestCountry: Temporary parking plans Tiverton Parkway
Mid Devon District Council has announced plans to provide a temporary car and coach park at Tiverton Parkway Railway Station, after the recent severe weather has caused problems with the main line railway network.
The Council has been contacted by First Great Western who wish to provide space for 12 coaches and 20 car parking spaces, to be built on land to the south of the existing overflow car park.
The car parking spaces will be used by staff members to free up space in the existing car parks.
Richard Chesterton, Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Regeneration said: ^We recognise the difficulties that the current extreme weather has been causing and the impact that this is having on the whole region. Through this measure we are seeking to respond actively to help efforts to ease the situation.^
