Short-stay Metro parking with accessible bays and cycle racks
Heworth Metro South Short Stay Car Park is a small, barrier-controlled surface lot offering 80 spaces, primarily serving short-term commuters to Heworth Metro Station. Operating hours are 6 am8 pm daily; outside these hours, gate remains closed. Tariffs are £0.50 per 30 minutes, capped at £4 for up to four hours; pay-and-display is via a machine accepting card and contactless, or via Metro parking app. Four accessible bays are located adjacent to the station entrance, featuring dropped kerbs and tactile strips. The tarmac surface was resurfaced in mid-2024, and line markings refreshed in early 2025. LED column lighting provides uniform illumination after dusk, and CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and all parking aisles. An emergency help point is located near the accessible bays, connected directly to Nexus control. Directional signage guides drivers to the exit onto Sunderland Road and nearby bus stops. Covered cycle racks for 20 bikes encourage combined bike-and-ride commuting.
