Smokey ....

You cannot make a Car Park Ring-go only. Many people still do not carry mobile phones.

How customer friendly is that? Your not welcome to use this car park and by extension the train service because you do not have a mobile phone. Mad.

Indeed, whilst I have a mobile phone, I don't particularly like having these things set up against my bank account. Using cold hard cash is 100% safe to me, whereas there is every opportunity that somebody could hack the bank details stored against me by paying over mobile.

Doesnt have to be a credit card - can be a debit card or one of those pre load master cards

It's a lot more customer friendly to have a Car Park Ring-Go only when the other option is a Car Park that is full of free parking cars.

3. I noticed at Falmouth Docks this afternoon that the car park was packed. Then noticed that all the pay signs etc have been removed. Presumably it is now free to park there and the cars were all from students from the nearby University residence?

Web site is still brilliant. Regards to everyone.

Falmouth Docks just didn't take money in the car park ticket machine, it wasn't even covering the cost of emptying the ticket M/C.

I asked the local APCOA^▸ man.

However anyone with a Brain would have made Falomuth Docks car park a ring-go car park ONLY and not free.

no point paying to park in the car park, when there is a large amount of space on the streets in the surrounding area, and Penryn has a large free car park a 2 min drive away, driving 2 mins to save quite a bit of money on parking (and a few pence on the fare) ha sgotta be worthwhile

well slight exageration, however if you live far enough away from the Docks to drive then you probably are within a 2 min drive of the free car parks at Penryn, and i just realised penmere has free car park as well, and falmouth town has large amounts of on street parking (free) if you know the area, so why drive and pay at the docks?
