[Albion] P&R Wars!

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Probably deserves a thread of its own at this point. Getting rather heated. So... who gets P&R priority usage? Guy who's driven a really long way to attend the game? Or guy that lives two minutes walk from the P&R bus and regards it as part of the public transport subsidy? YOU decide!

We'll put you down as a 'Did Not Provide Meaningful Input' then

I take it the wine club meet in the Park this morning was well attended

As far as I can recall...

 

[Icy Gull]

Edit - ignore - I was reading it as car parking

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Both. If the club doesn't want people to clog up roads around the stadium, then provide a convenient and viable alternative that runs on time for everyone to use.

I'm sure a surcharge is factored into the season ticket price for travel so anybody no matter how they get there can use it. All this pointless arguing adds fuel to PBs quest to make patrons pay more as per the questionnaire sent out b4 the end of the last season

Well what would be the most efficient way of getting the fairly significant numbers of 'walk ups' from the various P&R sites to and from the Amex because they would have to have someway of getting there ?

Obviously they couldn't just disappear given the pressure on the current transport infrastructure on match days. Maybe some extra buses from various points around town. They could use the extra buses that they save from the P&R sites to then lay on transport from appropriate points round town, like Mill Road and the Race Course ....... Oh

No.

But I’m glad you did.

 

[Official Old Man]

I've been away three days and obviously missed a lot.
P&R surely anyone can use the bus if it's free.
If it's pay to park then the buses shouldn't stop at the top of Mill Road and collect walk ins.

So, everyone else seems to already know the answer so the question should be which side of the fence do you fall and for what reason?

 

[sparkie]

No one gets priority.

It is what it is.

 

[Van Cleef]

I think it might be about to kick off again on the other thread.

 

[Invicta]

Everyone can use it, motorists get priority until the cars reach the top anyway. Going home everyone has same chance on the buses.

 

[dazzer6666]

Both. Everyone pays the same subsidy so should have equal right to use the buses. Simple.

I've missed where the idea for this thread originated from. That might be a good thing...

I can help here.
Let's just say the Amex Improvements thread has gone a bit off piste.
