Railway land to become relevant land. This was mooted ages ago but I just stumbled on the draft POFA amendment 2025:

    Another set of new signs needed!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Unbelievable. Does this mean the Train Operators  lose the right to clamp and remove vehicles ?  Can they really have it both ways ?

    You would have thought they should have sorted out the mess in the Private Parking Industry first, and as it says:

    ".........car parking industry trade groups and other stakeholders showed support for the change".
    This should raise a red flag to the whole thing!

    I think that is the purpose. I remember it was mentioned in 2020.

    Personally I think it'll bring consistency and will ban clamping in railway car parks which is a good thing. We have nothing to fear from the usual unfair POFA PCNs arising from the usual crap signage!

    I literally stumbled on this draft legislation and Parliamentary publication last night when googling for something else.

    I know nothing more than it says there.

    I was not consulted BTW!

    On Tuesday 21st October 2025 at 4.30pm there will be a debate in Parliament about the draft Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (Definition of Relevant Land) (Amendment) Order 2025 which is intended to make station car parks ‘relevant land’ under PoFA.
