The quote from Britannia refers to "what used to be Chiltern’s West Car Park B ", and there are also a West Car Park A and an East Car Park that presumably remain operated by Chiltern....The private owners once leased their part to Chiltern who ran it as one car park,
As above, yes. Then Chiltern chose to give up the lease & the owners engaged Brittannia. Now not subject to Railway bye-laws as on private land. Initially, the signage wasn't good, but that sign tyou can see on a pole at the entrance has been there for at least 4 of the 5 months that Britannia have worked it. So anyone incurring a PCN recently doesn't have a leg to stand on,
IMHO▸ .
Chiltern operates RingGo as well as
APCOA▸ daily tickets (via ticket machines) and this will be how parkers there are probably paying for their parking. Britannia has only a ticket machine in the actual car park they run. Chiltern have put up the large poster in the booking hall, as well as A4-size signs on booking office windows.
I would expect that users of station car park will pay remotely from the car park in some way, not at a machine (there often are none these days), but it may still be possible to pay Chiltern (who think you will park in their parts) and use a Britannia parking space. I am surprised not to see a complaint about Chiltern in that piece, who after all have taken payment and may have not done enough to explain that what has been paid for has changed.
