Secure ANPR parking with accessible bays, season-ticket options, and 24/7 CCTV at Marks Tey Station.
Marks Tey Station Car Park at 14 North Lane is a surface facility managed by Greater Anglia and Colchester Borough Council. The lot provides 160 sealed tarmac bays, including eight accessible spaces located closest to the covered footbridge leading to the station platforms. Access is controlled via ANPR cameras; season-ticket holders register their plates for barrier-free entry, while casual users pay via pay-and-display machines accepting coins, contactless cards, and mobile payments. Tariffs are £4 for 12 hours and £6 for 24 hours, with discounted weekly and monthly season tickets. High-efficiency LED lampposts illuminate all aisles from dusk until 1:00 am, and six CCTV cameras monitor entrances and accessible bays for security. Covered waiting shelters with seating are situated adjacent to the footbridge for passenger convenience. Covered signage displays train timetables, local bus connections, and cycling route maps. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a tidy environment. The car park is within a two-minute walk of the ticket hall, offering direct services to London, Colchester, and Ipswich.
