Direct-access parking at Stowmarket Station
Stowmarket Station Car Park is a Network Rail-operated surface lot offering approximately 150 marked bays including eight disabled spaces located near the platform entrance. Entry is unrestricted 24/7; pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless, and RingGo payments for hourly and daily rates. The tarmac surface is grooved for drainage and inspected monthly; potholes are repaired within 48 hours. LED column lighting provides illumination for pre-dawn commuters and evening travelers, and four CCTV cameras monitor all entry, exit, and pedestrian routes to the station. Pedestrian pathways lead directly to Stowmarket railway station ticket office (1 minute walk) and to local bus stops (3 minutes). Two Type 2 EV charging bays are located near the entrance, bookable via the National Rail website. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain a well-kept site.
