Commuter-friendly station parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and direct covered access to platforms at Manningtree.
Manningtree Station Car Park is a surface facility managed by Greater Anglia in partnership with Tendring District Council, serving rail commuters. The lot provides 200 sealed tarmac bays, including ten accessible bays situated adjacent to the covered walkway leading to the station platforms for level access. Parking is operated via pay-and-display machines accepting coins, contactless cards, and pay-by-phone; tariffs are £4 for up to 12 hours, £6 for 24 hours, with discounted weekly and monthly season tickets available online. High-efficiency LED floodlights illuminate all parking aisles from dusk until dawn, and eight CCTV cameras provide 24/7 surveillance coverage. Covered shelters for bicycle racks with capacity for 30 cycles are located near the pedestrian entrance. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to ensure a safe environment for daily commuters. The car park is within a two-minute walk of Lawford High Street bus stops, offering hourly services to Colchester and Ipswich.
