RESIDENTS using Great Western Railway car parks will be paying an extra 19 per day.
This is the first time in five years that the company have increased its prices.
The 5.5 per cent increase will help support investment including an additional 2,000 car parking spaces throughout the network, automatic number plate recognition and updates of credit card and pay and display machines.
Managing director Mark Hopwood said: "While I understand that no one wishes to pay more, this price increase will help our rail users take advantage of railway provided parking, and will enable further car parking facilities where they are most needed across the GWR network."
