Parking at the Former Pleck Railway Station Site
Pleck railway station closed permanently in 1958 and was part of the Walsall-Wolverhampton Line for freight only (wikipedia.org). The former station is at 68 Bescot Road, Pleck, Walsall, WS2 9AE, but the historical listing provides no current station car-park information. Drivers travelling from this address therefore need to consider nearby parking spaces or another rail station.
The station’s history matters for planning: this is not a functioning passenger station where a railway operator’s car park, daily tariff or season-ticket facility can be used. The site originally opened in 1881, closed in 1917, reopened in 1924 and closed finally in 1958 (railaroundbirmingham.co.uk).

Parksy lists a paid space at Park Inn By Radisson Walsall, 0.4 miles away, at £5.04 an hour. A space at Park Inn Birmingham West, Northfield, is 0.6 miles away and costs £4.60 a day, making the daily rate more suitable for a full-day visit. Both options suit drivers who want a listed off-street space rather than relying on a kerbside bay.

Planning a Commuter Journey From Pleck
