How do they link your car registration with your payment

Did you give them your card number in the first email?

at the branch I use, the cashier asks for your car number
but
it
doesn't end up on the receipt - but the date & time of
purchase
does.


I don't use shops that have these parking systems.

It's actually less trouble than the close by ASDA, where you
have
to
get and display a free ticket from a machine.

They obviously have to control parking in some way, as it's
beside
an extremely busy station, with no car park.

Then the station should build themselves a car park. Why did the
council approve a station with no car park?

That's rather like asking why Windsor Castle was built so close to
Heathrow airport.

No it isn't.

Since the station waa built before the age of the motor car - and
Town
&
Country planning did not exist - it is very similar

And everything nearby is equally old is it?

Irrelevant.

See below.

Useless.

When a building is knocked down, a car park should be made if there
aren't enough already.

Pity about who owns that building and the land
its on and why the knocked the building down
and what they replaced it with.

The council is in control of what is allowed to be built where.

But has to pay for what they take over
to turn into a carpark for the local station.

That's their job.

But they aren't necessarily allowed to do that.
