Drogheda Railway Station Car Park Off the Dublin Road
The station car park is located off the Dublin Road and provides limited parking for commuters using the Dublin–Belfast line (independent.ie).

For a driver arriving from Drogheda centre, the station is at 14 Avondale, 1.3 km from the centre. The limited supply makes the approach off the Dublin Road particularly important during the morning commuter run, when a missed space can mean continuing into town rather than stopping close to the platforms.

Parking at the station has been described as limited for commuters on the Dublin–Belfast line (independent.ie). These conditions make the station car park a better fit for drivers who can arrive with time to spare than for a tight connection.
APCOA identifies Drogheda Train Station as one of its Irish locations and provides a driver-facing location page for the site (apcoa.ie). The operator’s station listing says charging and enforcement times are set out on local signage (apcoaconnect.ie), so the information at the entrance governs a visit rather than a general APCOA timetable.
