Yes indeed. When I was a lad (1950's) my local suburban commuter
station (Ewell West) had a couple of dozen car parking spaces, but
it was seldom more than half full. Most of those commuters who
were lucky enough to have a car left it at home with the wife.


And the wife drove in those days?


No. She stayed at home with the car and did woman's work.


So why didn't he park the car at the station ?

And my mum drove the car in the 50s.

Even Liz drove a truck in the 40s and could fix basic problems too.
