ellanvannin2010 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 If you have to pay in advance for parking or be subject to some sort of unspecified penalty, why does the car park need barriers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the IoM it’s also the most likely outcome. Information desk is for information only, not accepting payments …. Payment is only via app, online or by phone - but tbh without ANPR in and out how will anyone (DOI or Ringo) know how long the car has been parked? Unless of course there will now be a squad of parking monitors working 24/7 …. How much was the barrier?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesde Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The press on Monday certainly said you could pay inside. Perhaps they are building a pay office staffed by enough people to deal with this and alongside the parking controllers to check customers parking details against the car reg in the car park. '"Anyone wishing to pay at the airport can do so inside the terminal building - one-hour free disc parking will also be available." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesde Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Seriously how does the system work. If I drive into the car park and leave my car for the day. I drive in park and pick it up when I return. If I don't register it in on an app surely I can just get in and drive away. No ticket needed, no barriers to stop me. No Anpr cameras to see me arrive or depart. Is there an army af controllers monitoring arrivals and departures and checking that all cars in the park are registered. If so where is the cost saving. Who issues fines, etc etc. It will take an army of controllers, fine issuers, people hearing appeals etc the whole thing seems to be totally incomprehensible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is it going to cost to police this. The ANPR system is already in use elsewhere on the Island and works well. So typical that they've gone for something different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nom de plume Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The NCP's throughout the UK work superbly. Drive in, car papped. When you leave, head to the machine, enter reg, pay what's due. Is it that hard to put that in? Fuck me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think every easyJet, BA, Loganair and Ryanair flight I've been on, I've always heard verbal confirmation of the number of passengers loaded and the handlers checking that it tallys with the crews own headcount of how many people are physically onboard. It's a normal process. Maybe you won't be satisfied until someone more suitably qualified like maybe @madmanxpilotcomes along and reassures you that it happens? You seem certain to defend any negativity. That's fine. But your failure to recognise that this is not a good situation is mind boggling. It was the case with the airlines I've worked for that the dispatcher will verbally confirm to the cabin crew the number of passengers on board, normally after the cabin crew have completed their headcount so as to avoid any confirmation bias. Once the dispatcher has left, and prior to starting the safety demonstration, the cabin crew will confirm with the flight deck crew that the doors are closed, and how many passengers there are on board including the number of 'specials' - ie passengers requiring assistance, The flight deck crew cross check this against their paperwork. This is the final chance to pick up any discrepancies. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
