Parking at Icknield Port Road Railway Station Itself
Icknield Port Road railway station is a closed former station in Ladywood, near Edgbaston, rather than an operating passenger station with a station car park. The station closed in 1931, with little evidence of the station remaining on the ground today (wikipedia.org).
The former station stood north-east of Icknield Port Road and opened on 10 August 1874. The Harborne Railway Company operated the station on opening, under the London & North Western Railway (disused-stations.org.uk).
For drivers using the address at 159-162 Icknield Port Road, Ladywood, Birmingham, B16 0BJ, parking therefore needs to be arranged away from the former station site rather than inside a railway car park.
Commuter Parking Around the Former Station Site
There is no current railway parking operation at the former station, so commuters cannot rely on a station permit, season ticket or daily railway tariff at this location. The historical closure means the site is not a practical railhead for a weekday drive-and-park journey (wikipedia.org).

Street Parking on Icknield Port Road and in Ladywood
The station address is 159-162 Icknield Port Road, Ladywood, Birmingham, B16 0BJ. The former railway site is not an operating station, so drivers should treat surrounding streets as ordinary local roads rather than as railway parking.
Parking directly outside a former station does not create a right to leave a vehicle. Any restriction, waiting control, bay marking or residents’ arrangement applying on Icknield Port Road or nearby streets is determined by the signed local traffic order and must be followed.
Drivers using an arranged space avoid relying on an unmarked roadside location near the old trackbed, which is now part of the Harborne Nature area (wikipedia.org). A booked off-street space is the more straightforward choice for a planned visit to the Ladywood site.
