Falmer Railway Station Car Park on Station Approach
The station car park is operated by APCOA and is entered from Station Approach in Coldean, Brighton, BN1 9SD. National Rail lists 10 parking spaces, including 1 accessible parking space (nationalrail.co.uk), so capacity is very limited for a commuter station.
APCOA charges £7 for a Monday to Friday daily stay, while the evening rate from 5pm Monday to Friday is £3.60.

Parking Rules on Station Approach and Around Coldean
Station Approach is the access street for the station and its small APCOA car park. The published station information identifies a drop-off and pick-up point, giving drivers a designated place for short station access rather than relying on the limited parking bays (nationalrail.co.uk).
Blue Badge parking is free for eligible users at Thameslink, Southern and related station car parks when the badge is displayed correctly (southeasternrailway.co.uk). Drivers arriving on foot or by car should keep station access clear, because the available parking is concentrated in a 10-space facility and the station has a separate accessible space (nationalrail.co.uk).
Commuter Planning for the Station Car Park
With only 10 spaces, the station car park is a poor fit for commuters who need a dependable space at the start of a weekday journey. The £7 weekday daily tariff is aimed at a full day, while the £3.60 evening rate applies from 5pm Monday to Friday (apcoa.co.uk).
A weekly ticket costs £26.80, which gives regular weekday travellers a published alternative to buying five separate daily stays (apcoa.co.uk). Weekend users have a £6.70 daily rate, and Blue Badge holders can use the parking free when the badge is displayed throughout the stay (apcoa.co.uk; southeasternrailway.co.uk).
