It would be helpful if you can get a picture of the signage as well, if you paid enough to cover your stay it shouldn't matter that you paid late but it'll depend on the tariff structure.

You need to post the PCN (both sides) if you want meaningful advice.

When? There was a significant change to the law at the end of 2025.

Title: PCN issued for Staion Car Park
Post by: macedonicus on March 01, 2026, 04:57:07 pm

Hi

I occasionally use the Market Harborough Station Car Park. Until recently a ticket was issued on entry and payment made at a machine prior to leaving. A  new ANPR system was introduced in November 2025.

On my second vist when I got to the machines they were both rebooting, as my train was imminent  I decided it was best to pay when I returned later that day. The daily charge is £12.

On my return that afternoon I went ot the machine and it offered a charge of around £2 for the rest of the day or that plus an additional day giving a total of £14. I paid the £14.

I have now received a PCN.

As I paid more than the daily charge do I have a case to get this rescinded.

Any help would be much apreciated.
