Station car parks full.

Seasonal - or just something I haven't notice on JourneyCheck before?

Westbury not surprised as on local groups the car park being full comes up as an issue from time to time despite its major extension a few years back.

But yes, a good thing to have on JourneyCheck if this is a new feature to highlight when station car parks are full.

Resurfacing or a storage compound for other works reducing the number of spaces? Last time I was there Tiverton Parkway had several large car parks and it's hard to imagine them all full, though Google maps shows one as "Permanently Closed" which may explain things.

Okehampton stn car park (about 70 spaces) is regularly full, with people parking nearby and for free.
But this is good and is what was hoped for and gives further justification for the new Okehampton Parkway, sorry Interchange, station.

Weren't there planning problems at Tiverton Parkway - extra car parks laid when the sea wall was closed, and well used, but they were only temporary and had to be closed once the sea wall was open again. Or was I dreaming when I heard that one?

That used to happen in Westbury. Not anymore since the double yellow lines appeared for quite a wide radius away from the station.
