§ Mr. BakerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (1) how many vehicles per day are expected to use the satellite park and ride sites at(a) Luton, (b) St. Albans and (c) Waltonon-Thames for access to the Millennium Dome; and how many park and ride buses are expected to carry visitors from each of the sites to the Dome each day; [69339]
(2) if Woolwich football ground is to be used for a park and ride site for the Millennium Dome. [69340]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonNone of the quoted sites is included on a short-list of six formal park and ride sites recently compiled by the New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC). A car park at Woolwich Arsenal, but not the football ground, is included in NMEC's short-list.
The NMEC is planning to control park and ride sites in each quadrant within the M25 into which Millennium Experience visitors will be able to book their cars before completing their journey to the Dome on convenient public transport or shuttle bus links. It is estimated that 4,000 spaces will be required on a peak day at the Dome.
