The charges are €2 per day or €5 per week, as i said its not that expensive but once established im sure it will be increased at EI discretion.
There is no advantage that im aware of given to train users over general users of the car park but in saying that there is not much else in the area which general users will need to park here for.
I take ronalds point of parking charges in town but , not all car comuters to town have to pay parking. I have the use of a company car park for no charge but stopped driving into work last August in favor of using public transport. I feel this €250 a year charge on top of my ticket price is now discoraging me from using the train service and car park.
I intend to remain parking on the road for the moment as why would i pay for a car park when i can legally park on the road, im sure the roads department will soon put a stop to this though, then i will have to make the discision on how i intend to commute to town. incidentially i did park in the original car park but due to EI poor managment of parking i was repeatidly blocked in my parking space by other inconsidered parkers. Is this car park going to be properley managed and inconsiderate parking prevented when the car park is full at a future date. for the moment i see no incentive to stop parking on the road which im sure was one of the main reasons for construction of this car park.
there is no physical prescence on site but there is CCTV covering an area of the car park.
