Spacious ANPR commuter parking with accessible bays, season-ticket options, and 24/7 CCTV.
Colchester Station Car Park on Three Crowns Road is managed by Greater Anglia in collaboration with Colchester City Council, serving rail commuters. The facility offers 300 sealed tarmac bays, including 16 accessible spaces located adjacent to the raised footbridge leading directly to the station platforms. ANPR cameras control entry and exit; season-ticket holders may register their plates for barrier-free access, while casual users pay via pay-on-foot machines accepting coins, notes, and contactless cards. Tariffs are £3 for 12 hours and £5 for 24 hours, with discounted weekly and monthly season tickets. High-intensity LED lampposts illuminate all areas from dusk until dawn, and a network of 10 CCTV cameras ensures 24/7 surveillance. Covered cycle racks accommodate up to 60 bicycles to encourage sustainable commuting. Covered shelters for passengers waiting for trains are located at the footbridge entrance. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a safe, clean environment. The car park is within a one-minute walk of the ticket hall, offering direct services to London Liverpool Street, Ipswich, and Norwich.
