Parking at Craiglockhart Railway Station
The station is on Colinton Road beside the Myreside Aqueduct of the Union Canal, serving Craiglockhart in south-west Edinburgh (Wikipedia).
ScotRail says normal charges at station car parks can be £24 a day or £12 for up to 12 hours, with free parking for rail users at some stations, but those figures are general station-car-park guidance rather than a Craiglockhart tariff (ScotRail). For a car journey to the station, a private space or a permitted street bay is therefore more useful than assuming a station car park will be available.
Commuter Parking for the Daytime Journey
Craiglockhart campus parking is for permit holders only from 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday, according to My Napier (my.napier.ac.uk).
My Napier states that campus parking is free outside those times (my.napier.ac.uk). The wording makes the campus a potential out-of-hours option rather than a straightforward weekday station facility, and it does not provide a rail season-ticket or pre-booking arrangement for station commuters. A private booked space gives a commuter a clearer alternative when the arrival time falls inside the permit-controlled period.
