Station Parking at Monument Lane
Monument Lane railway station is a former station in Ladywood, near Edgbaston, at Cope Street, Ladywood, Birmingham, B18 7AS. The station closed to passengers on 17 November 1958, and the Stafford line loop from the West Coast Main Line still runs through the site today (Wikipedia; disused-stations.org.uk).
Drivers heading to this location need to treat Cope Street as the address for the former station site rather than as an operating rail destination.
Commuter Planning Near the Former Station Site
There is no station permit, season ticket or daily station parking product to arrange for Monument Lane, because passenger services ended in 1958 (Wikipedia; disused-stations.org.uk). The railway infrastructure passing through the site should not be confused with a functioning passenger station or a commuter car park.
Those arrangements apply to the named operating stations rather than to the former site at Cope Street.
Street Parking on Cope Street and Ladywood
The site address is Cope Street, Ladywood, Birmingham, B18 7AS, directly beneath Ladywood Middleway A4540 (disused-stations.org.uk). The road setting places the former station beneath a major route, so a driver using the area is parking in the surrounding Ladywood street network rather than entering a station-owned car park.
No council or transport search result supplied a resident-zone boundary, waiting restriction, time limit or enforcement schedule for Cope Street. The location should therefore be treated as ordinary public highway parking only where a signed and marked bay permits it, rather than as dedicated railway parking.
Parksy Parking Near Monument Lane
Parksy lists three short-stay spaces within 334 yards of the former station site: a driveway on South Loop Square, Birmingham B16, at £1.25 an hour; an allocated space in Birmingham B16 8EP, at £12 a day; and indoor parking at Britannia Broadway Plaza, at £1.50 an hour. The driveway suits a brief visit, the allocated space suits a full day, and the indoor option is useful when covered parking matters.
Three longer-stay listings are 0.4 miles away: a parking space in Bellcroft at £75 a week, covered parking in Birmingham B1 3DH at £90 a week, and secure 24/7 parking at Graston Close, Birmingham B16, at £12.89 an hour. The weekly spaces suit multi-day parking, while the 24/7 listing suits drivers who need extended access.
Rail and Public Transport Connections From Ladywood

Hockley railway station is about a 13-minute walk away, while Jewellery Quarter railway station is about a 14-minute walk away. These are the practical rail alternatives for a journey beginning near the former station location.
A driver can therefore use an operating station with park-and-ride facilities instead of attempting to park at the former Monument Lane site.
