Secure ANPR commuter parking with accessible bays, pay-on-foot, and direct station access.
North Station Car Park is a council-managed surface lot adjacent to Colchester North rail station, serving commuters and town centre visitors. The facility provides 140 sealed asphalt bays, including eight accessible spaces located near the ramp and stairwell leading to the stations ticket hall for step-free access. Entry and exit are controlled by ANPR cameras; pay-on-foot machines accept coins, notes, and contactless cards. Tariffs are £3 for up to 12 hours and £5 for 24 hours, with discounted weekly and monthly season tickets available online for regular commuters. High-intensity LED floodlights illuminate the entire lot from dusk until dawn, and a network of six CCTV cameras provides continuous 24/7 surveillance for enhanced security. Covered bicycle shelters adjacent to the entrance accommodate up to 50 cycles, encouraging multi-modal transport. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repair, and litter clearance to maintain a clean, safe environment. The car park is within a one-minute walk of the station platform, offering direct services to London Liverpool Street, Chelmsford, and Norwich.
