Free Secure Parking for Penistone Station Rail Commuters
Penistone Railway Station Car Park is a secure surface-level facility located off Sheffield Road, serving commuters using the Penistone station on the Trans Pennine and Northern rail lines. The tarmac lot accommodates approximately 100 vehicles, including eight accessible spaces adjacent to the station footbridge. Operating 24/7, parking is free for rail passengers; a permit or ticket stub must be displayed when boarding—enforced by ANPR cameras at entry/exit. CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and aisles continuously; LED floodlighting ensures safe early-morning and late-night access. A covered footbridge leads directly to the station platform within a one-minute walk. Frequent train services connect Penistone to Sheffield City Centre, Huddersfield, and York. Bus stops on Sheffield Road provide additional transport options. EV charging is available via two rapid units located on the lot’s eastern edge to support eco-friendly commuting. Covered cycle racks accommodating up to twenty bicycles are provided near the station entrance to encourage eco-friendly rail-rail connectivity. Seasonal line repainting and barrier maintenance keep the area tidy and clearly marked.
