Successful railway parking plan

Full marks to ScotRail for its initiative to achieve increased station car parking by introducing modular units as a cost- effective way of meeting the growing demand for rail travel ("ScotRail in extra car parks plan", The Herald, January 25).

Much potential growth in rail travel, especially at off-peak times, is discouraged and frustrated by the hopeless inadequacy of existing station car parks, many of which are often full to capacity before 7.30am.

Installation of modular car parking technology will, it is to be hoped, resolve not only today's problem of suppressed demand for more rail travel but also undo damage caused by British Railways Property Board's vicious policy of selling-off railway land and goods sidings at stations.
