Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Bitterne Railway Station Car Park on Macnaghten Road The station has a small car park on MacNaghten Road, beside the railway entrance in Southampton near Portswood. National Rail lists 15 parking spaces and no accessible parking spaces (nationalrail.co.uk). Southern Railway lists 8 spaces with CCTV coverage and confirms that car parking is available (southernrailway.co.uk). The differing published space counts make this a compact facility rather than a dependable large commuter car park. South Western Railway states that parking is free (southwesternrailway.com). The operator lists the station as open 24 hours from Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday (southwesternrailway.com). National Rail identifies a drop-off and pick-up point, which is useful for passengers being driven to the station rather than left in the car park (nationalrail.co.uk). ## Commuting From the Station Car Park [Free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) makes the station car park attractive for a daily rail journey, but the published capacity is limited. National Rail records 15 parking spaces, while Southern Railway records 8, so early arrivals have the clearest chance of finding a space on busy weekday mornings (nationalrail.co.uk; southernrailway.com). The station information also records CCTV coverage for the car park (southernrailway.com). There is no paid station rate to compare with a daily or season ticket because South Western Railway lists the car parking charge as free (southwesternrailway.com). The station is open around the clock on every day listed by the operator, allowing early and late rail travel without a published car-park closing time (southwesternrailway.com). The lack of accessible spaces recorded by National Rail is important for passengers who need an accessible bay (nationalrail.co.uk). Show map of Portswood ## Parksy Parking Near Bitterne Station Parksy lists a priced space near Bitterne Park Medical Centre, 224 yards away, at £4.60 a day. The nearby choice is suited to a driver who wants a short walk and a lower daily rate than the other listed priced spaces. A priced allocated space in Southampton, SO18, is 0.3 miles away and costs £12 a day, making it more appropriate when an allocated bay matters more than the lowest price. Two driveway or lot-style spaces are listed 0.4 miles away: driveway parking in Southampton costs £6 a day, while a Southampton lot costs £7 a day. A 24/7 space at Basepoint in Southampton, SO14, is 0.5 miles away and costs £8 an hour, which suits short stays rather than a full commuter day. ## Rail and Bus Alternatives From Southampton Near Portswood St Denys railway station is the nearest alternative station, 0.6 miles away, with a 12-minute walk from the station. The station has bicycle parking, and National Rail records a drop-off and pick-up point (nationalrail.co.uk). GWR lists bicycle parking, step-free access, toilets, public Wi-Fi and seating among the station facilities (gwr.com). No tram or named park-and-ride connection is identified in the station information, so the practical alternatives supported here are the nearby St Denys rail station, cycling, drop-off and the Parksy spaces within 0.5 miles.
