Ostensibly I would agree with you. However, many station car parks
*already* get full, even with charging. To make this easier would help
people travelling in from outside London (ie me!) but overall would
probably add to car use and congestion around stations.


In which case there should be more parking facilities. And better access.
Or alternatives like large secure fast reliable park & ride schemes with
easy motorway access
