This has been brought up many a time, and if there is another topic out there regarding this then I apologize. It seems to me, and many others that I talk to, that the transport system around the park is getting worse and worse. The park is only going to become more and more popular, with release of SW7, and the new accommodation block, my fear is that the roads around the park will only be able to sustain so much.
I mean, if you cant drive, there is very little else you can do to get to the park, recently I have taken the train, and the bus to the park, and it strikes me as odd that a park of this size, is relying on the same bus that transports staff, to also carry guests. it just seems sloppy and is majorly inconvenient, especially as the bus doesent arrive before opening time, and only on very selected slots.
There needs to be some form of investment, if not in roads (like the past ring road idea) then perhaps in some form of a park and ride system, anything to lessen the strain on the local area. this in turn would reduce space needed for the car parks on park, which would solve the expansion problem.
Anyway, that was a very unstructured rant, but my question is this, what should or could be done to create a more effective transport system?
