No Station Car Park at Morningside Road
Morningside Road railway station does not have an operating station car park. The former goods yard is now covered by flats, a car park and other buildings, according to Railscot (railscot.co.uk), while the station closed to passengers in 1962 (wikipedia.org). The present-day parking search therefore needs to focus on nearby streets or bookable private spaces rather than a railway-operated facility.
ScotRail says station car parks generally operate on a first-come, first-served basis and that most are free or free for rail users, although some stations charge parking fees (scotrail.co.uk). Those general ScotRail arrangements do not provide an on-site facility at this closed station, so they should not be treated as a parking option for the Belhaven Terrace address.
Street Parking by 7-8 Belhaven Terrace
The station site is at 7-8 Belhaven Terrace, Comiston, EH10 5HZ.
Drivers using nearby public roads need to read the signs and road markings at the exact bay before leaving a vehicle, because a former railway location is not automatically a station parking area. The lack of an operating station car park also means that any lawful roadside space is separate from railway parking and is not managed by ScotRail.
Commuter Choices When the Former Station Site Is Busy
There is no station permit, season ticket or pre-book facility listed for the former station site. A commuter who needs a dependable space can instead use one of the nearby bookable listings, with prices ranging from £1.20 an hour for a space 296 yards away to £6 a day for a space 0.3 miles away. These are private parking choices rather than station-operated tickets.
The closest priced listing is a space near Balfour Day Hospital, 119 yards away, at £5.70 a day. A second nearby option in Morningside is £1.20 an hour and 296 yards away.

Craiglockhart Connection and Alternatives
Craiglockhart railway station is the nearest station, 0.7 miles from the site and a 15-minute walk.
The supplied local transport facts identify Craiglockhart as the nearby station but do not provide a bus or tram route, stop distance or park-and-ride facility for this address. ScotRail’s station guidance confirms that car parks at its stations operate first come first served (scotrail.co.uk), but that general policy does not create a facility at the closed station site. The practical nearby choices are therefore a bookable private space or the walk to Craiglockhart.
