Parking at Leith Citadel Railway Station
Leith Citadel railway station was North Leith Station on Commercial Street, close to the Leith Docks (edinphoto.org.uk). The historic station site is at 175 Commercial Street, Leith, City of Edinburgh, EH6 6JF.
The station is a former railway terminus rather than a current ScotRail car-park facility. ScotRail publishes station car-parking information for stations with facilities, including examples of paid front and rear car parks (scotrail.co.uk), but no station parking tariff or capacity is given for the Leith site.
Street Parking on Commercial Street and in Leith
The station address places the site on Commercial Street, where parking conditions are governed by Edinburgh's local restrictions rather than a station-operated car park. The historic station record identifies Commercial Street as the station location and notes the nearby docks (edinphoto.org.uk).
Drivers using surrounding streets need to follow the restriction signs and markings applying to the individual bay or road. A resident permit, waiting restriction or loading control can change the practical choice from one street to the next, so a space beside the former station is not automatically suitable for a full working day.
