So there Sefton you have an inbuilt answer to a problem plaguing Southport Hospital , mind you these days that problem afflicts all hospital's.

I agree that the sensible way to solve the underuse of the Kew P&R site would be to have it serve the hospital. Trouble is, I don't think that the board of the hospital would welcome it as it would mean a drop in parking revenue. Also, the P&R would have to operate until around 2200 to cater for those who are on shifts.

Yes I think the hospital revenue has always been a serious consideration as to why the change hasn't be applied. As for shifts again I agree with your point, but for visitors & day patients it would be a very useful alternative & would help make the service viable & provide people choice, rather than being forced to pay hospital charges or run the risk parking elsewhere.
