From my mailbox:

Options are drive to Westbury, leave car there overnight (not possible in Westbury Station's stupid car park) ...

I park at Westbury quite often but haven't done so overnight.   Very surprised to learn it's a problem - can anyone enlighten me?

Does the same issue apply to the car park at Warminster?

Can't see why it would be an issue, APCOA▸ (Car parking company used at GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) - controlled stations in the area) list the car park as open all day:

Some car parks sell you tickets for the 24hrs to midnight only so that would be 2 days. But the phone payment option gives you 24 hours from when you pay.

But nothing stopping you buying two tickets for 48hrs...?
