If it is a private road then I'd still suggest the local authority as the first port of call. They should be able to tell you who is responsible for the road. Although if ownership is somewhat convoluted then by the time you find out the water may have receded anyway!  |

I've now emailed RBWM and also Apcoa as to be honest it must be affecting their revenue.. Once it floods it is like it for days/weeks currently... I will see who replies... The water did used to recede quite quickly when there was a lot of business traffic going in and out at all times of the day but now that crossrail have moved them all out, there is little other than car park traffic which is a lot less and so the water just sits there and no one seems bothered... My daughter however needs to park at the station late morning tomorrow so she can get the train to work and she won't be able to because of this...  |

Without wishing to make too much light of the situation, perhaps your daughter should consider investing in some of these: http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/svendsen-rt-nylon-wader-p145751?utm_source=google&utm_medium=SEO▸ +product+searchThat of course is only if the vehicle used is of a suitable ride height to get through to the car park in the first place. Edit: And I've resisted the temptation to add RBWM to the forum's Acronyms/Abbreviations page. (Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead)   |

meh, I think the only response you'll get from APCOA▸ is 'we're sorry your appeal has not been successful'. I think that's their standard reply. Seriously I once emailed them to tell them they had a missing bulb in a street light, and that's what I got

I see. So if it really means 'indifference' why add it to the front of a detailed answer? It seems perhaps those who've defined it expect stand alone use of the word... Paul |

It was intended to be a "tbh", but the predicitve text on my phone must have had other ideas. I guess I use "meh" quite a lot when texting, so it's quite high up in the phone's dictionary.

No reply from Apcoa so far but the council have told me that Network Rail maintain that road.. So, since the water isn't going away, I shall contact them next.. The only change today was that someone has put a cone in the middle of the water... And thanks bignosemac but I've only got a small car and won't risk taking it through the deep water.. I am still interested to know if there is any policing of the yellow lines on that road now we know it's owned by Network rail though.. And yeah sorry about the RBWM.. It was late and it seemed like hard work typing the whole name in  |

Network Rail do have powers to issue tickets they would get BTP▸ to do it or may have an agreement with the Local Authority to issue them on NR» behalf. |

Ditto today re flood, lack of response.. if my pc hadn't decided to delete everything on there (including those e-mails I'd sent) then I could chase them up.. ho hum.. The water seemed higher today even though it's not rained too much the last few days..
Any ideas of what to do next from anyone?

Thanks Grahame.. I am thinking that the local newspaper might be happy to take this challenge on.. I will try and find time to contact them tomorrow and see what they say.. And yep..maybe someone should run a shuttle service into the car park on one of those duck buses ..mind you then I'd have to park on the yellow lines on the entrance road.. sigh... |
