Another Train Price Hike!!
Thursday, November 30th, 2006
Yet another piece of bad news for commuters. Passengers face above-inflation price hikes for rail tickets from January, train companies have announced.
Regulated fares, which include season tickets, are determined by the Department for Transport and account for 40% of tickets sold.
Most train companies will raise fares by 4.3% - 1% above inflation - when the new prices are introduced, while the Southeastern trains service between Kent and London will go up by 6.3% under the terms of its new franchise.
Compare this with the fact that parking that has actually fallen in some areas of London and the UK by up to an average 15%.
So maybe it is time to consider driving to work, give us a call now or submit your details via this website for you free quote.

If you are a resident of the new extended Congestion Charge area, you may be entitled to a 90 per cent discount when paying the Charge. This of course now means that driving into Central London and the other areas of the existing Congestion Charge zone will become much cheaper.
So with paying just £4 a week in Congestion Charging and the great parking prices offered all across London by 24 7 parking, there has never been a better time to start driving into work in Central London if you are a resident in the western extension of the Congestion Charging Zone.

How to beat the CC Zone expansion
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006
Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone has approved plans to extend the central London Congestion Charging Zone westward.
From the 19 February 2007, the Congestion Charging zone will extend to the west to cover the areas of Bayswater, Notting Hill, North and South Kensington, High Street Kensington, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Belgravia and Pimlico.
Although there are a number of free through-routes that enable vehicles to cross the zone during charging hours without paying, this will yet again increase the price of driving in London.
However, those considering driving into work or those that currently do so, may be worried about the increase in costs, but they should rest their minds at ease. 247 parking will still be able to offer the best value parking in London. With parking available just outside the zone, for those wanting to avoid the new fees.
Also the great discount parking we can now offer in new locations inside the congestion charge zone is such great value that it negates the cost of the charge.
So call us one of our sales team now on 020 7038 3970 for a free parking quote and don’t let the congestion charge zone inconvenience you.
