It is very interesting to note that the car park to which all this refers is the most convenient from which to walk to all terminals. In other words Commonwealth House.

Prior to the parking enforcement it was impossible for aircrew to find slots to park in during office hours. Cars were left in every concievable nook and cranny.

I noted several that didn't seem to have any car park pass, and in one case a Stockport registered taxi! (Was he off for a coffee break perhaps?)

Since the enforcement parking has returned to a sensible level, and whilst still busy through the day is now relatively easy.

The problem has been caused by airport staff who should have been in other area's latching onto the fact that whilst the barriers were disabled they could get away with a walk to the teminals instead of catching the bus from Staff park west. (Admittedly a shockingly bad service)

If you are authorised to park in Commonwealth House, and your car shows a pass for that area. You should have nothing to fear.
