Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## No Station Car Park at Dorchester West Drivers should plan for off-site parking because Dorchester West railway station has no parking spaces listed by National Rail, including no accessible parking spaces (nationalrail.co.uk). South Western Railway also states that car parking is not available at the station (southwesternrailway.com). The station address is Damers Road, Fordington, Dorchester, DT1 1SB. The station does have a drop-off and pick-up point listed by National Rail (nationalrail.co.uk), which is useful for passengers being driven to the platform rather than leaving a vehicle for the day. GWR lists bicycle parking at the station, with sheltered storage shown under the station facilities (gwr.com). ## Street Parking Around Damers Road and Fordington Parking directly beside the station should not be treated as station parking. National Rail lists no parking spaces at Dorchester West and identifies a drop-off and pick-up point instead (nationalrail.co.uk). This makes Damers Road more suitable for a brief set-down than for leaving a car during a working day. Drivers looking for a longer stay should use a booked off-street space rather than rely on an unmarked roadside location. The station is unstaffed, according to Discover Dorchester (discoverdorchester.co.uk), while National Rail lists no accessible parking spaces (nationalrail.co.uk).
