点评:We’ve visited Dartmouth on a number of occasions, so we were fully prepared for the normal parking issues. However this was the first time that we used the Park and Ride, so we were surprised that there is no Park and Ride bus so you have to pay additional for a local bus. The Park and Ride pay machines don’t accept cards so you’re limited to cash or Ringo - if you use Ringo be prepared for the different car park times on the App vs the timing displayed on the car park tariff- I paid online but fully expected to get a parking ticket, luckily I did not but I could only buy one day at a time so had to remember to extend parking daily.
My biggest issue with Dartmouth this time around was the overall attitude of a number of those who clearly depend on tourism. Eating in Dartmouth is not easy. Many places advertise eating times but run out of food early. Staggeringly the local fish and chip shop (Rockfish Takeaway) despite advertising opening hours up to 9pm ran out of everything by 8:20 pm. It’s pretty much impossible to get food once you realise your plan of fish and chips is scuppered at 8:20! We ended up with a bag of crisps from the local CoOp,
Yes it’s early in the season but this was the first Bank Holiday weekend - just feels like it doesn’t really work.
翻译:我们去过达特茅斯很多次,所以我们对常见的停车问题做好了充分的准备。然而,这是我们第一次使用停车换乘服务,所以我们很惊讶这里没有停车换乘巴士,所以你必须为当地巴士支付额外的费用。停车换乘付费机不接受刷卡,所以你只能用现金或 Ringo 卡 - 如果你使用 Ringo,请做好准备,因为应用程序上的停车时间与停车场收费表上显示的时间不同 - 我在线支付,但完全预料到会收到停车罚单,幸运的是我没有,但我一次只能买一张,所以不得不记住每天延长停车时间。
这次去达特茅斯,我最大的问题是许多显然依赖旅游业的人的整体态度。在达特茅斯吃饭并不容易。许多地方都宣传就餐时间,但食物很早就卖完了。令人震惊的是,尽管当地的炸鱼薯条店 (Rockfish Takeaway) 宣传营业时间到晚上 9 点,但到晚上 8 点 20 分,所有东西都卖光了。当你意识到你的炸鱼和薯条计划在 8:20 就泡汤了,你几乎不可能再吃东西了!我们最后从当地的合作社买了一袋薯片,
是的,现在还处于季节初期,但这是第一个银行假日周末——感觉不太对劲。
