Free Commuter Parking for Barnsley Interchange
Churchfields Commuter Car Park is a surface-level facility managed by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, located off Churchfield in central Barnsley. The lot offers approximately 150 tarmac-surfaced bays, including six accessible spaces positioned near the pedestrian entrance. Operating 5 am to midnight daily, parking is free for rail and bus commuters; enforcement is via occasional patrols and signage. CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and main aisles during operating hours; LED bollard lighting lines pedestrian pathways to ensure safe evening access. A marked footpath leads directly to Barnsley Interchange and Churchfields tram-train station within a three-minute walk. Frequent trains and buses connect to Sheffield, Leeds, and Huddersfield. EV charging is not available on-site; the nearest rapid charger is at Gateway Plaza Car Park, a five-minute walk away. Covered cycle racks accommodating up to twenty bicycles are provided near the station entrance to encourage multi-modal transportation. Seasonal line repainting and pothole repairs maintain a safe, organized environment.
