The station itself has no parking spaces and no accessible parking spaces, according to National Rail (nationalrail.co.uk). Drivers cannot use a station-operated car park for a daily commute, so the practical approach is to arrange parking away from the platforms and walk or continue by another mode.
National Rail lists a drop-off and pick-up point at the station, together with bicycle storage (nationalrail.co.uk). The drop-off facility is useful for passengers being driven to a train, but it is not a substitute for leaving a car during the working day. A driver looking for a longer stay should therefore focus on the nearby Parksy listings rather than expecting a station entrance with its own tariff, capacity or opening hours.
