I parked on Doncaster Cattle Market many times int 60s and 70s,living in Sheffield it were easy to nip to station and get train home. Many many dodgy nights out on there. 
SETH 70 did anyone park there! every driver involved in distance work would have done ,also if your around 70ish, that is if your work took you that way,HULL GOOLE SCOTLAND,the hub of destinations,BRS had two depots at DONCASTER however ,if you lived in a out the way place, nothing doing place, DONCASTER was the MECCA for drivers,good parking,cinemas, good digs,lots of them, good pubs, not so good girls lol [black bull] good hiding if you wanted one very easy to get in DONCASTERS, SWIMMING BATHS ,LOCAL BATHS it has it all .I have always liked doncaster .

Is there anywhere you didn’t have a dodgy night out Chris?

I doubt it very much , that’s why he retired to a tax haven with his ill gotten gains .

All my dodgy nights out were perfectly legal I will have you know. 
You could get landed with a load into Lancashire and be doing local runs over there all week,sometimes for a fortnight.
So Stockport,Mottram,Hyde,Ardwick Green were ideal places to park for a lift over Woodhead. And if Woodhead was shut by snow there was always the train.
Watford Gap,Scunthorpe,Lichfield,Scotch Corner,Stamford all within reach by log book especially when in front of yersen.
My dodgy night out cash is dwindling now though…
