I know this should be in the Cotswolds but I'm appealing to the widest audience possible.   I also know it s a London Midland issue but hey - word travels.

Got back to night to find stickers saying "No parking at this station until 1030am tomorrow."

When I asked the station staff, even those who are usually frank and honest off the record would only say "I could not possibly comment"

So two questions:

1. What is going on

2. Why less than 24 hours notice

I guess I'm working from home tomorrow

Sorry, Mookiemoo, I've done some 'digging', but I haven't been able to find out what's going on.

The parking at WOS» (Worcester Shrub Hill - next trains) is managed by Meteor - but their contact number is just a recorded message, saying they're not open until 0630 tomorrow morning.  Huh

The only suggestion I can offer is that you contact them:

Primary Phone Number 0870 060 4416
Email Address comments@londonmidlandparking.com

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Is it anything to do with Prince Charles going to Worcester tomorrow?

Thanks, Ollie: that'll explain the security blanket of obscurity that's descended over the matter, then!

Good for them though, travelling by train:

"The Prince and The Duchess will travel along The Severn Valley Railway to celebrate the reopening of the line which was also damaged by the flooding."

Makes sense however considering the number of people who use WOS» (Worcester Shrub Hill - next trains) to park - this is outrageous

Sorry - the royals are parasites - but then I am a federalist

This akes me mad

Think of the people who dont have jobs where they can remote work

yes, other city centre car parks (usually full) are made available - at considerable inconvenience to the paying public

Whilst I would agree it is a huge inconvenience that the carpark is being made unavailable.
I do need to point out, that it is merely speculation that the reason is related to Prince Charles's visit.

True

But I suspect the case an mid morning tomorrow we will get clarification

And if it is, I will be flaming London Midland

Had it been last week, before I got a work laptop, I would be down a days income. 

Notice would have helped peopl makealternative arrangements

Whatever the reason, the lack of notice is appalling.
