Northampton Railway Station Car Park on Black Lion Hill
The staffed railway station car park serving Northampton is operated by Saba Parking, rather than being attached to the disused Bridge Street site. Saba lists weekday entry before 10am at £12.80, weekday entry after 10am at £8.90 and Saturday parking at £9 (sabaparking.co.uk). The station car park is the practical choice for a rail journey when you want to leave the car beside the operating station.
Blue Badge holders can park free of charge after registering for a free parking permit through the Saba Parking Blue Badge Portal (southeasternrailway.co.uk). The Bridge Street station closed completely in 1972, and its overgrown track remains in place (disused-stations.org.uk), so parking by the former station entrance is not an alternative to the current railway station car park.
