Indeed not rail related but there was something in the media about the cheapest car park per hour, which one in Dewsbury came in at the best at 5p for one hour....however, it doesn't multiply and costs much more for multiple hours (it used to be free for an hour but I suspect the local miscreants would have emptied the machine of tickets as you just went up to it and pressed the button to get a freebie!)

Dewsbury has nothing on Battlesbridge (Southminster line) which charges a mere 50p for all day parking for its 4 parking spaces (plus 1 disabled) :lol:

Much be one of the cheapest which charge car-parks

That must have been compiled before Virgin's changes - they are now mostly £12 a visit. You can almost buy a house in Crewe for that!
(Crewe car park is currently about 75% empty)

All Virgin Trains managed car parks (except Rugby: £9) cost £12 on weekdays, even those at small provincial stations, such as Penrith and Oxenholme, which would be free to park at if managed by almost any other TOC. Sandwell & Dudley, for example, is free to park at, because it is managed by London Midland.
