Proposed Car Parking Charges at Dunbar Station
GNER propose to introduce car parking charges
at Dunbar station from 28th September 2002. Passengers with Season tickets
will be able to purchase a car park pass for £10 and will have to
renew this regularly. However, there are possibly insufficient spaces to
guarantee a space for each pass holder. Other spaces will be available
at a charge of £2.50 per day, which represents approximately a £65
increase per month or a 65% increase for a standard class season ticket
holder, according to Derrick White, Cove Farm Cottages, who represents
the Dunbar and Berwick Passenger Group. GNER argue that the station is
the only one at which they do not charge for parking. However, the station
represents a largely rural catchment and the lack of consultation on this
with passengers is unacceptable. A petition will be placed in the village
shop for those wishing to record their displeasure at the proposed charge.
