Stafford Railway Station (Hansard, 20 June 2002)

HC Deb 20 June 2002 vol 387 c509W 509W

§ Mr. Kidney
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will provide funding for greater car parking capacity at Stafford railway station. [63162]

§ Mr. Spellar
The provision of car parking facilities at railway stations was not a requirement of the original franchise agreements. Car parking capacity at Stafford station is a matter for the station operator, Virgin West Coast. The Strategic Rail Authority's rail passenger partnership scheme is a potential source of funding.
