Park Mark
To demonstrate our commitment to you by making your experience of our station car parks simpler, we are working hard towards achieving 30 Park Mark awards across our car park network by the end of 2009. This mark demonstrates that a car park has measures in place to deter crime and anti-social behaviour, and has been risk assessed by the police.
Safety and Security
We recognise that safety and security are important to you and therefore have introduced a lone traveller scheme allowing assistance from ‘car to train’ at 23 key station car parks across the network.
Below is a list of our 63 NCP managed car parks and the facilities available to you:
