Mark Pritchard to 'gather a petition'

Mark Pritchard MP is asking boss of Central Trains to explain why they have plans to charge a massive £3.50 per day to park at Telford Central Railway Station, reports the Shropshire Star.

The charges are to be put in place to ease the problems of non-railway users parking on the station car park in the light of recent parking charges at the Telford Shopping Centre.

Mark thinks there may be a case for the rail regulator as Central Trains do not appear to have consulted the local Rail Users Association.

Strangely, Telford Central isn't in Mark's Constituency and this writer thinks he should concentrate on improving the much maligned facilities at Wellington Station.
