I'm moving offices within my company - moving from one a 10 minute drive away (with free parking), to Glasgow city centre.

My options will be either £12 a day parking or a train season ticket which will cost me over £1200 per year!

I will get a pay rise, but this will be completely eaten up by train or parking.

Those who live in the city centre, please advise if there is an easier way?

My office is near Queen St station so the train would be the easiest option if it wasn't for the cost!

As for parking further away and walking, there are two problems with this - I have slight mobility problems and I don't want to be a sweaty, rushed mess when I arrive at work!

My work has a deal with NCP where there's a daily flat rate for parking. It varies between £4-£6 depending on the carpark

Is that something your work might have without you knowing yet - it totally passed me by for years but came in very handy when I was heavily pregnant

Some one did mention £4 parking so I'm going to ask about that when I start. I hope its not one of those tiny car parks or one I can't get to - world's worst person with directions, thats me!
