So if the goal is to free up space, why charge in Monastervin where the car park is less than half full all the time? Is it that they are greedy?

In that case, yes they are greedy. I only support charging in high demand areas.

New car park in Hazelhatch isn't full either, nor is the one in Gormanston. Never failed to get a space in Thurles or Templemore either (both on the phase 2 list of this). I'd challenge anyone to walk the unlit road with no pavement to Templemore station on a dark wet day just isn't safe.

End of the day the real solution here is to charge a painful rate for non rail users at all railway car parks and see how much space that clears up, that would be interesting

What i am wondering about in particular with an insufficient car park like coolmine station is what happens if you have a weekly car park ticket but there are no spaces left? Does that give you licence to park along the curb etc?

Are you entitled to a refund?

[Mark Gleeson]

Of course not its just like the train, if you can't get on thats not their problem.

[ThomasJ]

Yes but its not like being able to get on the next train that car park would be full for most of the day.

By the way will you be able to use any of the irish rail car parks with this ticket if you get it from a certain station?

Mark do you know if the terms and conditions/bye laws for the new pay car parking is out yet?

Would be an interesting read.
