Same thing at NCL, front of the terminal closed to everything but taxis and busses. A new mini drop off area was created, first 15 mins free then crazy prices after that. An article in the local press couple months ago said an old bloke and his wife parked here and went on holiday for couple of weeks, on returning put ticket in machine and was charged £1500. Think they would have given him the benefit of doubt, but he was driving a new Jag, so they didnt.
