9. Finance – Revenue Potential Demand -Currently 300 – 400 spaces (based on review / projection of car park usage patterns) -Circa. 800 spaces (based on typical interception rate of between 2.9 – 6%) -Future growth and additional capacity required for Windsor Revenue Costs –Rail or bus based facility:£1m per annum Revenue Generation -Parking income: increase by raising tariffs and generating demand OPERATING DEFICIT: £275K (PER ANNUM) Experience of Park & Ride facilities elsewhere is that direct positive financial returns are rare and Break Even is often the best case. Subsidies are common. Significant non-cashable benefits are realised Potential Demand -Currently 300 – 400 spaces (based on review / projection of car park usage patterns) -Circa. 800 spaces (based on typical interception rate of between 2.9 – 6%) -Future growth and additional capacity required for Windsor Revenue Costs –Rail or bus based facility:£1m per annum Revenue Generation -Parking income: increase by raising tariffs and generating demand OPERATING DEFICIT: £275K (PER ANNUM) Experience of Park & Ride facilities elsewhere is that direct positive financial returns are rare and Break Even is often the best case.
