‘Scene’, PARK & RIDE in York on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The City of York like many other historic locations, whilst welcoming visitors does not want the traffic or the atmospheric pollution that their vehicles bring.

 

The answer is the ‘Park & Ride’ sites on the outskirts of the City.
