Well, today I was in a hurry and I needed to get into London for a meeting. There’s a lot going on at the moment.

So I happened upon a super idea: I will try out the pay-by-sms service for parking at the local station. If you recall, I wrote about this last week after finding a flyer promoting the service.

Well, I just hopped in the car, drove down to the station and then parked right at the end. There are never any spaces available near the platform, obviously!

I took a note of the numberplate - its a new car - and then saw the big sign saying ‘this is car park location 7054′. You need that for the transaction.

I jumped on the train with a cavalier approach not bothering to even look in the ticket office. I then got on the train (I was just in time) and got out the flyer.

Here’s what you text:

Location-number / duration-in-days / credit-or-debit-card-num / expiry / ccv-num

I knocked this text out and hit send….
