Penalty exposure at Alderley Edge station and council car parks
Northern states that an unpaid Alderley Edge station parking case increases to £100 when Northern receives no response within 28 days. If the £100 amount remains unpaid, Northern refers the case for prosecution, so an unpaid station charge can become substantially more serious than the original parking payment (northernrailway.co.uk).
Alderley Edge station parking cases are handled through Northern’s fines and penalties process. Northern’s published process gives the motorist 28 days before the outstanding amount increases to £100, after which the case can be referred for prosecution; a challenge therefore needs to be made through Northern rather than treated as a council car-park matter (northernrailway.co.uk).
