Avoid the queue with pre-paid tickets
If you are parking after 5pm you can pay for your ticket when you park and avoid having to queue when you return to your vehicle; definitely something to consider if you are travelling home from a busy night out.
Take your ticket to the nearest machine, insert your ticket and follow the on screen instructions on the touch-screen monitor.
