Thanks very much Chris and all. Yes, just got an email to say number is changing. Well at least that's one thing improving!

Quote from: ChrisB on May 26, 2011, 10:21:29 This problem has been taken up with APCOA^▸ (Car parking company used at GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) - controlled stations in the area). Meanwhile, I finally have some news, but you're not going to like it much - the geographical number will finally go live is 11th July. FGW^▸ (First Great Western) aren't too happy that it's taken this long either, so I guess that's the first nail struck..... There will be a period of dual-running, possibly commencing before that date, and FGW will put up posters etc once it is live. Anyone know if the number is changing on Monday? _{Edit note: Quote marks fixed. CfN.}

I've just been looking at some of the latest comments on TheYellowLines "Have your say" page and there seem to be some serious differences in pricing with the new APCOA^▸ (Car parking company used at GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) - controlled stations in the area) system. Things like days that were charged as 24 hours now stopping at midnight (one person got an ^80 fine for the pleasure), someone else saying they got charged ^174 for 3 days parking, and still the cost of the 0845 number. Isn't this something the FGW^▸ (First Great Western) coffee shop/customer panel should be taking up with FGW?

Quote from: ChrisB on March 16, 2011, 12:23:28 FGW^▸ (First Great Western). I suspect APCOA^▸ (Car parking company used at GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) - controlled stations in the area) failed to inform them that the number had become non-geographical. Kind of makes you wonder how rigorous their "tender process" was then - doesn't it?!

Quote from: ChrisB on March 09, 2011, 17:10:31 Yellow Lines (from where you've taken your info) is 'sponsored' by who else but RingGo.....bear in mind they won't be impartial. Surely, as long as it works, and it doesn't cost the commuter any more, how much else of the above is really any care of the commuter? The case of thew 08451 number, rather than a geographical number like RingGo uses, is under discussion between the Customer Panel and FGW^▸ (First Great Western), and are hopeful of a successful conclusion. But possibly not before it starts on Monday as time to change it is very short. Hi Chris Have FGW now said that they're definitely removing the 08451 number? I've just checked my phone costs and it's costing me a minimum of 25p every time I call the new service (and that's including every time it doesn't work!). I don't like queuing for a ticket - but I'm sure not going to keep on paying by phone at that sort of cost.

Has anyone been to one of these "Meet the Manager" things before - http://theyellowlines.wordpress.com? Just wondering if it's worth going to - or don't they take any notice anyway?

Hi Rich - why not ask ringgo about it on the website - they seem to be answering queries there?

If you use Ringgo to pay for parking guess you may be interested in this http://theyellowlines.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/first-great-western-rumour/ . Looks like comments welcome.
