Does a car park have to display that you could be fined/amount of fine?
My local station car park has recently changed its signage and introduced an ANPR and cashless parking system.
The signage says you have up until midnight to pay using the app but doesn’t explain what will happen if you don’t pay. So could they still enforce a fine?

You'd be better taking this to the Parking sub-board.
Unless the car park is owned by the council then it won't be a "fine" - it'll be an invoice. And the fact ANPR is being used means it can't be a council-owned car park, as they are forbidden from using ANPR.
Take this to the Parking board and please provide far more details about this. (e.g. Where is it? Got a photo of any signs? Who are any "fines" supposed to be paid to? etc.)Jenni x1 -
Just noticed that your additional replies appeared whilst I was replying previously. You can send a PM to a Board Guide and ask them to move this thread.Jenni x0

Correct - and I'm aware of bylaws situations. I didn't want to complicate things here until the OP provided further details.Jenni x1

No further details to add, really.
Can a private car park (specifically at my local train station) issue a fine for non-payment without first disclosing that a fine could be issued and the amount of that fine?0 -

Firstly, a private car park operator has no authority to issue fines anywhere.
For further detail you really should get this thread moved to the Parking Board and then you need to say exactly where this incident took place.1 -

* Who is levying the "fine"?
* What is the "fine" amount?
* What specifically is the "fine" for? (i.e. what exact breach is supposed to have happened?)
* Are there any signs at all in relation to this? If yes, what do they say?
At the moment the only answer that can be given is .... maybe.Jenni x2
