3 February (Part 3) - The downside of the Elizabeth Line

Commuter parking Commuter parkingI don’t mean being stranded just before 11 p.m. in Central London without any Abbey Wood trains as happened again last Monday but the effect it has on the local parking situation. The traffic below Abbey Wood station around 6 p.m. is amazing. Solid and almost static traffic in all nearby roads.

On train strike days things can be even worse. The cars shown here both got tickets after being reported by a resident in Carrill Way.

The parking enforcement lady said that commuters are driving from as far away as Sevenoaks to be able to get to work in London.

As far as anyone can tell, Bexley Council is turning a blind eye to the situation and presumably the penalty revenue makes that inevitable.
