Convenient ANPR commuter parking with accessible bays, season-ticket options, and 24/7 CCTV.
Colchester North Station Car Park on Station Way is operated by Greater Anglia in collaboration with Colchester City Council, serving rail commuters. The lot comprises 220 sealed tarmac bays, including twelve accessible spaces located adjacent to the pedestrian ramp leading to the station concourse for step-free access. An ANPR system controls entry and exit; casual users pay at pay-on-foot machines accepting coins, notes, and contactless cards, while season-ticket holders register plates for automated access. Tariffs are £4 for up to 12 hours, £6 for 24 hours, with discounted weekly and monthly season tickets. High-lumen LED floodlights illuminate all aisles from dusk until dawn, and eight CCTV cameras ensure continuous 24/7 surveillance for passenger safety. Covered cycle parking shelters for up to 60 bicycles are located near the entrance to encourage eco-friendly commuting. Covered signage displays train timetables to London, Ipswich, and Norwich, bus connections to Colchester Town Station, and cycling route maps. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter removal to maintain a clean, commuter-friendly environment.
