Napier parking - overstayed 20 minutes and train delay
DIR By: gentleman_
Date: December 16, 2025, 7:36 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Good morning all,
first, I tried the first level appeal with Napier parking
directly and got rejected, so now I should appeal with
www.theias.org.
I paid for 4 hours, my train was delayed by 20 minutes and I
stayed a total time in the car park for a time of 4 hours and 20
minutes.
I believe I have good grounds for appeal, but I know that often
parking tickets for overstaying and train delay got rejected.
However, the options to pay are jumping form 4 hours to a full
day, and I didn't need a full day.
I have proof of delay and a successful train ticket appeal
(which reimboursed me only 0.97 pence, but it should be proof of
train delay)
If I loose this appeal, will I be forced to pay £100 instead of
£60
I know the IAS is terrible and 94% of the requests with them
results in a declined appeal.
What should I Do?

If nothing else, please follow the advice above and show us what
you’ve received and, importantly, what you’ve said to them.
This information should give us an angle on how to advise you.

You should also search the forum for
Napier
to inform yourself.
They aren’t well known but have appeared here before
nonetheless.

Key questions;
Has the driver been identified in the appeal?
And, where is the location? Is it railway property?
Best to post up the PCN covering only personal details.

Thanks for the quick response.
This is the response to my appeal
Thank you for your appeal received on 09/12/2025 regarding the
above detailed Parking Charge.
We have reviewed the case and considered the comments that you
have made, together with the evidence that
we are holding. Our records show that the Parking Charge was
correctly issued as your vehicle was parked in
breach of the clearly displayed Terms and Conditions of Parking.
This is an ANPR controlled car park. Our signs inform motorists
that the duration of your stay is calculated from
the point of entry to the point of exit. Our records show you
paid for 4 hours and remained within the car park for 4
hours and 20 minutes. It is the driver's responsibility to
ensure they cover the whole duration of their stay.
We are therefore unable to cancel the Charge as it was issued
correctly. Your options now are as follows;
- Pay the Parking Charge at the rate of £60.00 by 30/12/2025. We
must advise you that once this settlement rate
passes it may not be offered again or further extended. If 14
days passes the full amount of £100.00 is payable by
13/01/2026. Payment options are contained later in this
document.
You have now reached the end of our internal appeals procedure.
PLEASE DO NOT PAY THE CHARGE IF YOU WISH TO APPEAL FURTHER.
PAYMENTS ARE ACCEPTED IN
FULL AND FINAL SETTLEMENT.
- Make an appeal to the IAS - The Independent Appeals Service
(www.theIAS.org) provides an Alternative Dispute
Resolution scheme for disputes of this type.
And this is what I said to them
Hi,
in regards to my recent parking fine, my train has been delayed
by 20 minutes, and the total stay in the car park is 4 hours and
20 minutes.
Considering I paid for the time I was supposed to stay and I
overstayed a minimum amount of time I ask to lift the charge.

Essentially, then, you identified yourself as the driver in your
appeal. This closes a number of angles for you.
If the PCN doesn’t comply with the requirements of the
legislation- and it probably doesn’t - then liability could not
have been transferred from the unknown driver to the registered
keeper.
But we are where we are.

FUBAR
What is the location of the alleged contravention?
Don’t be stupid and assume just because the utterly corrupt
kangaroo court that is the IAS rejects your appeal that you have
to pay it. The appellant is not bound by any decision the IAS
makes.
Whilst you probably threw away the best defence point by
blabbing the identity of the driver, you still have other
defences. However, until you give us more detail, especially the
location if it involved a train station car park, it is not
possible to assist you much more than this.

Had no idea about the identity of the driver, unfortunately.
It happened at a train station car park on a Saturday, not very
busy at the time of arrival or departure
I arrived at 9:06 in the morning and left at 13:27
Paid my parking space at 9:14 for 4 hours
The option for payment longer than 4 hours is 24 hours which
seemed a little excessive.
is this any help?

Take your tin-foil hat off and tell us the location. “A train
station” is worthless information if you want advice on how to
deal with this.
They already know you are low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree
and likely easily intimidated into paying up out of ignorance
and/or fear. There is very little chance of this being concluded
with the IAS.
The most likely way this will successfully be won is if they try
to issue a county court claim which is easily defended. However,
if you are not prepared to follow the advice you receive here,
even though you already proverbially shot yourself in the foot,
then there is some information we need to know, such as the
location.
No one is scouring the internet to find your case so they can
report back, with whatever your imagination thinks they can
possible use against you.

Didn't realise you needed an exact location. I'm sort of new to
all this, I am definitely keen to listen to you or I wouldn't
have come here in the first place.
This happened in Chippenham, Wiltshire, station hill carpark
