This week the Sevenoaks Society talk will be on “The impact of driverless cars on Sevenoaks”.
For rail travellers there could be a number of impacts including:
- how much car parking would be required at the station if cars could drive themselves home after dropping off commuters?
- would Southeastern try to recover lost income from car parking by raising fares?
- whould Network Rail be allowed to keep the “development gain” through being able to use Car Park 4 for housing – or another supermarket?
- could “shared mobility” reduce the amount of traffic around the railway station?
