Well. It's Friday.. I still haven't been told anything is changing parking wise (apart from what I've read on here).. That is really really bad of them...

The new codes are on the FGW▸ website.

Thank you, I saw them on the Apcoa Connect site once I heard about it on here
But for all the people who don't know the change is happening.. They won't know to look.. It is being handled very very badly in my opinion..

I agree with Jo!  I'm really hoping they amend all the car park signage across the FGW▸ network this weekend to show what number we ought to be ringing and what code to quote. Sadly I think it's a rather forlorn hope though... And even if they do it's going to be mayhem out there Monday morning with some people inevitably missing trains through having to re-register |

And what about the majority of people (like me) who don't go anywhere near the ticket machines (and hence the signs) as we're already registered with RingGo..
What will happen to them when they try and call RingGo from the train and find they can't pay?
I'm working from home Monday now.. I almost wish I was going to be there see the mayhem.... I'm sure it'll last all week though if not longer as not everyone parks everyday..

Hmm.  In the interests of all those concerned, I've been out and about this morning, conducting a survey of various stations in my area.  Weston super Mare:   Bridgwater:   Yatton:  Hope this helps! CfN |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

The pictures certainly suggest a blitz over the weekend - which has probably been the plan all along, I should think. If they'd put the vinyls up a week ago, far too early, I imagine there'd have been a slightly different set of critical posts...

It must be noted how reasonably priced the car parking is in this region, ^1.50 for weekday parking at Weston after 10am, compared with Totnes which has a fixed tarrif of ^5!

Well that does all look like it is going to be well advertised.. I will be parking at Maidenhead station tomorrow morning, although I'll most likely pay with cash and resigster with Apcoa connect before my first trip into London on Tuesday.. I'll be able to see if they've done the same there.. I do hope so.. I can't imagine anyone missing all those signs (not even me  ) |

But this all assumes people KNOW it has changed
I have to say - I have sign post apathy - rarely read them unless I'm looking to find out info
If I don't know what I don't know then I wont look

Yes, perhaps one of those leaflet-on-seats things in the style of what's happened when FGW▸ apologise for major service disruption a few days after a particularly disruptive event would have alerted more people?

Had a flyer under my windscreen at TVP about a fortnight ago and last Tuesday the APCOA▸ man was there handing out flyers to car park users at 06.30. It must be noted how reasonably priced the car parking is in this region, ^1.50 for weekday parking at Weston after 10am, compared with Totnes which has a fixed tarrif of ^5!
No competition, same at TVP! |

Ah well.. All that has happened at Maidenhead is that the signs by the machines have been changed.. But to be honest, unless you look really closely, you wouldn't notice they were different to the old ones..And regular ringGo customers are not gonna go look at the machine every day.. just in case So.. unless something happens tomorrow and for the next few weeks (manning the car parks for example to tell people) then Apcoa have not approached this at all well.. Incidentally, if I call ringGo, they still offer to take my money to park my car as usual..I wasn't brave enough to do that earlier when I parked though, so I just used cash... |
