The provision of parking facilities, including Park and Ride, is a matter for the local highway authority and rail operators. In addition to the major schemes, a number of smaller schemes have been proposed/ implemented by the local authorities as part of the local transport strategy. These have included proposals for extension of existing sites or new sites for both bus-based and rail-based schemes. These are summarised in the following table. Details of the smaller schemes, including proposed timetables, are not kept centrally.
