Car parking

Car park tariffs for all our car parks are available on APCOA’s Thameslink car parking website.

Blue Badge holders can park for free in any of our car parks, and can use any bay except for 20-minute drop-off bays, loading bays, staff bays, and premier bays.

If you regularly commute from the same station, you could save money with a season ticket which offers a significant discount.

Parking can be paid for online at the APCOA Thameslink car parking website, by downloading the APCOA Connect App or by calling 0189 526 2122.
