Moto services should be ashame
Moto services offers 2 hour parking whereas others services allows 3 hours.
Generally takes about 10-15minutes navigating the queues to find a space, then another 5 minutes walking back to eatery, for mad rush to toilets, queue for urinals, wash basin, hand dryer etc, that takes 15- 20 mins, stroll various food outlets to decide what to get, queue again, then maybe stop over at M&S for water, chocs, another queue to pay, then hands loaded, trying to find an empty clean table is another task, by then almost 30-40 mins gone before I can finally sit down to enjoy my refreshment.
Post rushing through my food, I need to use the toilet again,which again needs another 10-15mins.
At my last visit to a Moto services, I had a dizzy spell when I got up too fast attempting to get back to my car before the free 2 hour period ended, had to sit back down, abd waited until I felt better.
A week later I got a PCN attaching photos showing I was 18mins over the free 2 hour period. I appealed attaching my doctors letter and my detailed NHS prescription slip stating I have a chronic heart condition and my Cardiac meds can cause sudden dizziness etc.
The parking company rejected my appeal.
Perhaps the two hour period suffice a fit 20-40 year old for this purpose, but it's unfair and unrealistic to apply the same criteria to a mature 66yo individual who has a chronic heart condition. Furthermore a motorway services is meant for motorists after being cramped in a car for hours, to stretched, walk about, relieve themselves and satisfy their hunger and thirst etc which are extraordinary needs of motorist's from service stations which is why motorists are expected to pay exorbitant prices, compared to a normal cafe in city centre, yet Moto services and their contracted parking services are ignoring their primary responsibilities by not bothered to make the entire experience pleasurable, instead ignoring apathy and compassion simply to increase their corporate profits.
I now refuse to use Moto services if they insist on only offering 120minutes when other services can offer 180minutes.
