Frequently no one collects my ticket until after Stamford on the inbound trains. If the outbound is really crowded or short cars, it is not uncommon for the conductors to not collect. Regarding parking pass hording, at Stratford the daily parking is always full, and there is usually plenty of permit-only spots empty. But yet there is a six year wait for a spot of the permit list. And this is not a new occurrence. So clearly there is hoarding going on. Between 9am, when the daily spots tend to fill up, and noon, when the permit-only spots become fair game, there is no legal parking anywhere near the station.
