Car parking charges at Crewe Station are being increased today from £6 to £8.
As car parking charges are not regulated Virgin is of course free to charge whatever it feels the market will stomach.
However, chairman Sir Richard Branson may not have had rail passengers' stomachs in mind... judging by this photo from today's Mail on Sunday...
Any additional comment would be pure sour grapes!
UPDATE: This from David at Railtalk:
I think that you will find that the charges are only going up by £2.00 to £8.00, they have been £6.00 for quite some time.
Whilst any increase is unwelcome, pity the poor souls on the East Coast, who have to pay considerably more.
York for example is £12.00 per day. Rip off GNER prices, and National Express has carried them on.
Duly corrected, thank you David. The Fact Compiler's mind may have been on other things at the time of posting...
