I can drive over on my day off later this week but the signage may have changed since 2017. VCS submitted lots of photos in their evidence although none appear to be of the entrance to the car park
Check to see if the car park is on google maps. You need images of your entry into the car and where you parked. Don't rely on their images as they take them when the car park is empty,
There were two entry points in the car park in my case. One had a small sign in an area cluttered with other signs. The other entry point was not signed at all.
The Vine case is again about signage so you really need your own image of the signage. If you can take a video of your route around the car park.

Thanks both I will search the forum and google maps.
I've been comparing the VCS signs to the Beavis case signs - these are some of the images VCS supplied which for some reason are dated in May 17 (the alleged parking contravention was in October 17). They have also enclosed date stamped pics of the car on the correct date so can't really use this in my witness statement. Still, I am surprised that they have enclosed these as it clearly shows that the signs are not very visible and doesn't support their case.
I'm testing out uploading pics - had problems with photobucket so hoping this works below.

No, it requires a log-in or registration, maybe you need to set it for public viewing.0 -
Ok, will have to try and find another way to upload
This is one of the entry points to the car park on google maps;

Although you would have to drive past this rather prominent car parking tariff sign;

Not sure if those links are working? Should I have copied and pasted from the browser bar?

This one should show both entry points

The car was parked behind the 'Port' bar

No prominent signs in this area - just a small terms and conditions sign positioned quite high.0
