Well let's see what we get:

City of dreaming spires - £630 extra charge for additional drivers.

I don't know if you can comare permits in terms of value, because chances are the higher the price the more work you'll get, and vice versa.

We can work out metrics after wards, I just want to try to collect permit prices..

Shouldn't be a price Issue for permits in Edinburgh Waverly soon...they want to ban anything with Wheels from going in there. I'm sure if they could get away with banning trains and Customers as well they'd give it a try...Prats.

So how much is the permit price at Edinburgh?? Think this will be a high one, big station and all?

Brighton Station £440 a year.

And the independent drivers that use it would, IMO, pay more than double for the work they get out of it.

A lot of the stations are now advertised in PHM, and they range from £260-£450.

there's been a few articles on TDO giving permit prices...Bristol was one and Newcastle upon Tyne springs to mind.

Trainspotting ain't allowed these days if they are seen on a station with a camera they are thrown off by British Transport police !!!!!

That could be good thing for all those that work out of stations and airports, just charge the punters to recoup the permit charges
But how many councils allow this, or should the question be how many wont allow this and need to change

While I can't say that I approve of the practise.

Surely, if you wish to do Trade on their Forecourt, owned and maintained by them, surely it is only fair that they get a cut of the action.

They should not be able to charge you to use the Public Highway, though. I don't think that they are, although I'm sure that we would challenge them if they did.
