I believe the proposed park and ride scheme is unsustainable as I understand that buses will not be dedicated so users will have to time their visits to coincide with the bus timetable - this will not be an enticement for people to use the service.

Also, the site is too close to Leamington. surely it would be better if it was closer to to the A46/A452 roundabout and part of the Thickthorn development. Then it would be providing for more locations: Warwick, Leamington, Kenilworth, Warwick University and even Coventry.

Major employers are based to the south of Leamington and much of the traffic using the A452 crosses to the south.

There is plenty of parking in Leamington Spa so shoppers are unlikely to use the park and ride service.
Oxford has a successful park and ride scheme because there is so little parking in Oxford city centre.

Given the increasing problems with flooding which all the evidence suggests is only likely to get worse we should not be adding more impervious surfaces to this area of Green Belt where there are already a lot of car parks reducing the area's ability to absorb rainfall.

A railway station is unviable because the railway line is in such a deep cutting in Old Milverton so construction would be impractical.
