Streetcar and Network Rail provide car sharing from British train stations
ZipCar is getting to be pretty well known here in the US and even has a branch in London England. However they aren't the only car sharing service and one located in England is called StreetCar. Streetcar has done a deal with British railway operator Network Rail to set up car sharing sites at four major rail stations in the London area. Streetcar members will be able pick up cars from Victoria, Euston, Paddington and Waterloo stations and pay for them on an hourly basis. If the program works out the companies will expand availability to other stations. [Source: The Independent]

Streetcar is a good idea BADLY implemented!
The big flaw is that there's no one checking the car conditions apart from the users themselves. And when the car is being damaged while it's parked, possibly by another vehicle in the parking, you can be attributed the responsibility for it!!!
The latter has just happened to me:

and to Benet:

and who knows to how many other customers that just paid because they didn't fee
l like to spend time, money and get stressed to fight against Streetcar!!!
