You can obtain such things, but only at the expense of greater
inconvenience. P&R is "advertised" as a complete replacement for parking
in shopping areas (that happen to be in town centres) but it is not.
On the other hand I'm a great fan of P&R such as Luton Airport Parkway
(for London) and will continue to use it just as long as they don't kill
the golden goose by overpricing it. (At £36 for 2 days and 7 hours
including travel to St Pancras, at my most recent visit, it's heading in
that direction).
