taxi to train station? if you're that worried about it getting broken into then surely the taxi fare would be less expensive than whatever you have to pay to get a window replaced?

That doesn't really work for me as I've a three hour drive to a station that's 30 mins from London (on a train) , rather take the train into London than try and drive about looking for and pay for parking



Thanks anyway...

What car are you going to use and how old is it?

I'm from Harlow and to be honest mate I wouldn't worry about parking your car at the train station. Whenever I have been down there I have seen an R8 parked daily, Porsches, and a good few £60plus cars.
I have been so tempted at times to leave a note under windscreens saying "what do you do and how can I do it?" And leave my number lol
Honestly wouldn't worry tbh
