The proposed park-and-ride scheme is unsustainable. This is because:
1) There will be no dedicated buses, so users will have to time visits to coincide with the existing bus route timetable.
2) Shoppers are unlikely to use the park and ride when there is plenty of parking in Leamington.
3) The site is too close to Leamington. It would be better if the site was focused on the A46 roundabout with the A452, which could form part of the Thickthorn development.
The proposed park-and-ride scheme is unsustainable. This is because:
* There will be no dedicated buses, so users will have to time visits to coincide with the existing bus route timetable. As the new residents will not want to use the park and ride, congestion along the Kenilworth road at weekends will reach the point that people will be discouraged from shopping in Leamington.
* Shoppers are therefore unlikely to use the park and ride when there is plenty of parking in Leamington. I never fail to get a parking space in Leamington, even at busy times.
* The site is too close to Leamington. It would be better if the site was focused on the A46 roundabout with the A452, which could form part of the Thickthorn development, and provide for Leamington, Warwick, Kenilworth, Warwick University and potentially Coventry. Oxford appears to have the only park and ride scheme in the country which really works and this is because there is such limited parking in Oxford city centre.
