Dumfries Station

[Butts]

Just been to this Scotrail Station for the first time today - quite a nice Station in fairly good condition.

Also I noticed you can park "inside" the Station virtually next to the Platform which is a rarity these days.

How many other Stations can you still "park inside" under cover ?

I might be wrong but Stranraer Harbour? I've certainly seen motorbikes in the little tunnel thing.

A couple off the top of my head:

The area behind Platform 2 at York is a short stay car park: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/sjp/YRK/images/photos/800/o3520-0051179.jpg

The fourth span at Hull is a car park - although I'm not sure it isn't all reserved now: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/sjp/HUL/images/photos/800/o2164-0000104.jpg

From first train out until sleeper departs?

sadly no sleapers at dumfries unless there are diversions involving 67 haulage up the GSW and even then they dont call.

Glasgow central until a few years back would have been an obvious answer

It's not just station staff though. There is a lot of on train staff also based at Perth. It is also a stabling point for many Inverness, Haymarket and Eastfield units, which will be cleaned internally and externally, refuelled and minor maintenance needng done (there was rumours of a pit being built, not sure if this happened?), so I imagine associated staff will be around most hours of the day. I often get the 2015 from Inverness and change at Perth and there are usually a few units around queueing to get into the old carriage sidings.

Until the timetable was improved I always thought Perth must have had nearly as many staff around as passengers some days.

Bath Green Park. But admittedly only if you are using Sainsbury's.
