Short-stay station parking with fast EV charging and flexible rates
Chippenham Station Short Stay Car Park is an APCOA-managed tarmac lot on Cocklebury Road, dedicated to short-duration rail users and nearby office workers. The facility offers 70 marked bays, including four Blue Badge spaces near the station entrance and one motorcycle bay. It operates 24/7; tariffs are £3 for up to two hours and £5 for up to four hours via APCOA app or contactless machines; no overnight parking. LED floodlights provide illumination until 1 am, and 24-hour CCTV cameras monitor all aisles. Pedestrian exits lead directly to station platforms (30 m), café kiosk (60 m), and office block entrances (100 m). One 22 kW EV fast charger is available at £0.35 per kWh via QR code, reserved for short-stay users. Seasonal rail station upgrades reduce capacity by 20%; overflow directed to Station CP3 Car Park (0.2 km). Maintenance crews repaint bay lines monthly and clear litter daily.
