As ever, you're talking far too much sense. It shows how shortsighted and rabid the car-haters are that they continually try to restrict parking at railway stations: they don't seem to care that doing so simply encourages people to drive the whole way instead. As far as the car-haters are concerned, someone being persuaded to replace only part of their car commute with rail is in no way a victory: the only acceptable outcome is for everyone to be forced out of their cars altogether. Everything the car-haters do is negative and punitive, and demonstrates a compete lack of flexibility, reason, pragmatism, and understanding of human nature (of course they don't consider car drivers to be valid humans at all, so maybe that has something to do with it).
