PASSENGERS driving to York Railway Station by car will be able to pay for short stay parking over the phone with a credit or debit card.
York-based train operator East Coast is launching a new cashless system called RingGo at nine of its stations along the East Coast Mainline route, so people no longer need hunt in their car, purse or wallet for elusive change.
However, a spokesman said the system would not apply to York’s long stay car park because it had barriers in place and RingGo was only available for pay and display car parks, such as the short stay one.
He said motorists would still be able to pay with coins at the machine.
Each station’s car park had its own unique RingGo code, and motorists should quote this number when they called the East Coast RingGo number on 01904 899 877 to pay for their parking.
