A local police sergeant has said officers are "aware" of the problems and have issued Traffic Offence Report notices for parking offences near the station, while Great Western Railway (GWR▸ (Great Western Railway)), which operates Castle Cary Station, has confirmed it is working to expand its car park. A spokesman for Somerset County also revealed there are plans to lay double yellow lines along the A371.
