Helly Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I've just been back to Doncaster to visit the olds, and when driving in the vicinity of the new football stadium I see signs for a 'Park and Walk'. What on earth is this? Surely if you park there and walk to where you want to be, it's a car park?! What has it extra to merit this title? Maybe it's just trying to trick people into thinking they get something for nothing. Odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angle20 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I see signs for a 'Park and Walk'. What on earth is this? It's exactly what it says on the tin. Perhaps it's a hint to elderly or infirm people that they should not expect to find themselves close to the centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

never wrong Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 i should imagine the answer is fairly simple its a car park for the new stadium and you can park there and then you walk the rest of the way to the stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 I'm still not sure what the difference between a park and walk and a car park is though. Park and walk! It even sounds ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
