Street Parking Around London Street and the Station
London Street has a listed car park with published charges and opening information, while a separate parking record identifies London Street as a pay-and-display location with a parking map (google.com). Drivers approaching by car should distinguish marked pay-and-display bays from station drop-off areas, because the station has a separate drop-off and pick-up point (nationalrail.co.uk).
Southport’s station area includes a designated accessible-parking provision: National Rail lists 5 accessible spaces at the station (nationalrail.co.uk). The station car park is listed as pay and display by Merseyrail (merseyrail.org), so payment applies to the marked station parking area rather than being inferred from nearby street space.
