The station address is 188 Widney Manor Road, Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, B91 3JW, placing the car park at the station approach rather than at a separate town-centre location.

Transport for West Midlands lists parking as available on arrivals (tfwm.org.uk).

Roadside Parking Around 188 Widney Manor Road
The station is on Widney Manor Road in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, near Solihull. The council area matters for drivers considering roadside alternatives because local highway controls, signs and markings govern where a vehicle can wait outside the station car park.
West Midlands Railway directs passengers to its station car parking information and identifies the facility as Car Park 1 (westmidlandsrailway.co.uk). National Rail records a dedicated drop-off and pick-up point (nationalrail.co.uk), so stopping for a passenger is distinct from leaving a car for a rail trip. A vehicle left on the road should not be treated as station parking simply because the station entrance is nearby.
