Direct-access commuter parking at Thetford Station
Thetford Station Car Park is a Network Rail-operated tarmac facility offering approximately 180 marked bays including ten disabled-access spaces located near the station entrance. Entry is unrestricted 24/7; pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless, and RingGo payments; no overnight parking. The tarmac surface is grooved to assist drainage and inspected monthly; potholes are repaired within 48 hours. LED column lighting ensures visibility for pre-dawn commuters and evening travelers, and four CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and pedestrian walkways to the platforms. Pedestrian paths lead directly to Thetford railway station platforms (1 minute walk) and to the town centre (10 minutes). Two 22 kW Type 2 EV charging bays are located near the entrance, available via pay-as-you-go. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain a tidy commuter facility.
