Parking fine Railway yard

[ONEPRO]

Hello everybody.On returning to my car parked for a couple of minutes outside my office, which I lease within a Railway Yard,a penalty fine appeared from NCP policing the yard for the railway.Anyone know about "Right of access" to an office,from point of view of appealing this dumb fine.Regards Onepro.

Which of these is it?

 

• council PCN

• private PCN

• private PCN mentioning railway byelaws

Thanks for reading the post and for your reply.It is a private PCN,think they are cross country and the ticket mentions railway byelaws.Thanks again. Onepro

Cross Country are not a PPC, they are a train operator, hence the railway byelaws are applicable. However, you mentioned NCP in your original post, they are a PPC.

 

If the fine is payable to "Cross Country" then it is likely that NCP are acting on behalf of Cross Country, railway byelaws may well apply, you should not ignore.

 

However, if the "fine" is payable to NCP, then it may just be the usual PPC misinformation.

 

It is worth a detailed check of your paperwork.

Thanks again for your reply.The point in contention is not the fine but as a leaseholder of an office within the station carpark can I argue I have right of access to my office and leaving the car there for 1 or 2 minutes was for that practiticality,A bit like say a delivery driver dropping off goods for 1 or 2 minutes and being fined.Any input would be appreciated.Regards ONEPRO

Yes but in the case of this being a PPC, rather than a railway company, the fine is entirely unenforceable in any event - hence the questions above.

 

Ultimately, the answer to your question specifically will be in your leasehold agreement, and that alone. None of us can answer that specific question without seeing the leasehold.

Could we see the ticket, minus personal details?
