Barrier-controlled parking at South Elmsall station
South Elmsall Station Car Park is a Network Rail-managed tarmac facility on Station Road, adjacent to South Elmsall railway station. The lot provides 80 marked bays, including six Blue Badge spaces and two motorcycle bays. It operates 24 hours; pay-on-exit charges of £3.50 per day apply for pre-booked rail users via the station portal; non-rail users pay £1.50 per hour (capped at £5.00 per day). Barrier entry is enforced through ticket scanning at the entry lane. LED lamp columns provide full illumination until 1 am, and CCTV cameras monitor all driving lanes. Pedestrian subways provide step-free access to both platforms. Bicycle racks for 12 cycles are available near Platform 1. Seasonal track maintenance closures reduce capacity by 10; signage directs drivers to Exchange Street Car Park (0.5 km). Weekly maintenance includes line repainting and surface sweeping.
