Eastgate Shopping Centre Parking Near Gloucester Eastgate Railway Station
The Eastgate Shopping Centre car park is the principal named facility beside the station area, with 380 spaces and 24-hour opening. It uses pay-on-foot payment and ANPR, and drivers can pre-register for three hours of free parking (sabaparking.co.uk). Gloucester City Council lists Monday to Saturday charges of £1.50 for up to one hour, £2.60 for up to two hours, £4 for up to three hours, £5.10 for up to four hours and £8.40 all day up to 5pm (gloucester.gov.uk).
The council tariff makes Eastgate more suitable for a short city-centre visit or a daytime journey than for an unplanned overnight stay. The car park is at the Eastgate Shopping Centre, while the station address is 41 Bruton Way, Gloucester, GL1 1DS. Drivers using the facility should follow the ANPR and pay-on-foot process shown at the car park rather than assuming railway-station tariff arrangements apply.

Parksy lists six priced spaces around the station. The closest is an Asda Gloucester space, 133 yards away, with 24/7 access at £6 an hour. A Gloucester Leisure Centre car-park space is 162 yards away and costs £4 an hour.

The Asda option suits drivers needing round-the-clock access, while Russell Street suits a driver focused on the lowest listed hourly price. The leisure-centre and Station Road spaces offer alternatives for short visits when their locations fit the walking route.
Street Parking Around 41 Bruton Way
The station sits on Bruton Way at 41 Bruton Way, Gloucester, GL1 1DS. The nearby paid options include Eastgate Shopping Centre and Station Road Car Park, so drivers should treat marked car parks as distinct from kerbside parking. Station Road Car Park has a Monday to Saturday tariff of £1.30 for up to one hour, £3.80 for up to three hours, £4.20 for up to four hours, £4.80 for up to five hours and an all-day charge (sabaparking.co.uk).
Eastgate Shopping Centre applies Monday to Saturday charging through 5pm, with an all-day band available up to that time, and Sunday charges are also published by Gloucester City Council (gloucester.gov.uk). The council identifies the facility as a city car park rather than unrestricted street parking. For a journey from the station, using a marked paid facility avoids treating a shopping-centre or council car park as ordinary on-street space.
