National Rail records 27 accessible spaces, giving drivers with accessibility needs a clearly identified part of the main station parking provision (National Rail). The car park operates 24 hours from Monday to Sunday (EMR). A weekly ticket costs £46 and a monthly ticket costs £122.50, making the longer-duration options relevant to regular rail users (EMR). [Free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) is available at the main entrance for drop-off and collection only, rather than for a full train journey (Experience Wakefield). A taxi rank and the Free City Bus are also located in the car park (Experience Wakefield). ## Parksy Spaces Around Wakefield Westgate Railway Station Parksy lists a range of alternatives around the station, including a driveway space on Carnforth Avenue, 0.2 mi away, priced at £3.38 an hour.

Show map of Wakefield ## Street Parking Around Back Lane and Thornes Back Lane is the station address in Thornes, Wakefield, WF1 2TG, so drivers approaching the railway station should distinguish the station car park from nearby public streets. Parking on the street is governed by local road signs and markings rather than by the station's multi-storey tariff. Drivers using public roads around the station need to follow any displayed restrictions, waiting controls, permit requirements and time limits. ## Commuter Parking for Regular Westgate Journeys The station's 900-space car park provides the largest dedicated option for commuters, and its 24-hour operation covers early departures, late arrivals and weekend travel (National Rail; EMR). The 27 accessible spaces are part of the station's recorded provision for accessible parking (National Rail). Regular rail users can use the station car park's weekly ticket at £46 or monthly ticket at £122.50 (EMR). Those options are more suited to repeated journeys than paying the £11.50 daily charge on every weekday, while the short-stay rate of £0.90 an hour applies for parking of up to 5 hours (EMR). Parksy also lists monthly parking in WF1 2ZJ for £65 a month, 0.9 mi from the station. The Carnforth Avenue space is listed as 24/7 and 0.2 mi away at £3.38 an hour, offering a nearby alternative for commuters who prefer a private space to the station's multi-storey car park. ## Wakefield Kirkgate and Links From Westgate Wakefield Kirkgate railway station is the nearest other station, 0.7 mi from Wakefield Westgate railway station, with a walking time of 16 minutes. The station has a black and white taxi rank in the car park, and the Free City Bus also serves the car park (Experience Wakefield). These connections can help passengers continue into Wakefield without moving a car closer to the city centre. A park-and-ride listing identifies Unit 1 Stourton Park and Ride on Wakefield Road, Belle Isle, Leeds LS10 1FF, 5.9 miles from the station (Yorkshire.com). It is an alternative to consider when a driver wants to leave the car outside central Wakefield and continue by public transport.
