What did the officials say?
David Biggs, managing director for Network Rail Property, said:
“We recognise the tremendous effort all of our key workers are putting in during this challenging time. This simple gesture is about showing we care for those people who are caring for us, from the nurses in our NHS to the supermarket workers restocking shelves.
“We are relying on the goodwill of people at this difficult time to only use the free parking option if they are a key worker as defined by Government guidelines. This is an evolving situation so we'll keep the offer under review and may choose to extend it beyond 30 April.”
