Im just wondering why if a car is getting constantly hit when parked in a certain spot, they the owner is still parking there?

Potentially not much other choice?

Was similar with the railway station I used to park at. Get there at 7:30 and you've a wide choice of spaces available. Get there at 8am and the only spaces left are on a tiny narrow strip that requires about a 12 point turn for anything longer than a Mini to get in or out of. Plus to make it more fun the siding it a wooden fence with a metal barrier infront of it and lights in front of that but the lights are over the fence pointing at the platform so its all in silhouette 

Three times car got hit when having to park there, though one of those may have been my fault. What other option is there? Drive back home, waste the day of the season ticket and then wait 30 minutes for a taxi (each way) or a 45 minutes walk back to the station when you're already late  

What other option is there?

get there at 7.30am when there are lots of spaces?

That was plan A

When doing work involving the middle or far east unfortunately at times you'll be on a video call at 7:30am and in those days 3G was rarely good enough to do such a thing from in the carpark

have you tried parking on your driveway?

You could ask the council to see about lowering the speed limit and installing some speed humps.
