London Midland increases car parking at Tamworth station

Parking the car at Tamworth station just became easier, with the addition of 79 car parking spaces courtesy of train operator London Midland.

To achieve the additional spaces the company has installed a new decking structure, which provides an extra floor of parking above the existing ground level parking. The striking steel structure took a weekend to erect and was fully opened for passengers within a week.

Alex Hynes, London Midland’s Commercial Director said: “Tamworth is the latest station to benefit from the £8million being spent to improve car parks across our network. We are committed to delivering 1000 additional spaces for London Midland’s passengers. The opening of the additional spaces at Tamworth keeps us firmly on track to deliver on our promise.”

As part of an extensive review of car parking services, London Midland has also developed a number of incentives that now provide increased value for money to its passengers.

For the environmentally friendly monthly, quarterly and annual permits are FREE if the vehicle is registered with the DVLA and has an ‘Electric’ fuel type. Similarly, if a vehicle emits no more that 120g of carbon dioxide every kilometre (120g/km) there’s a 50% discount on monthly, quarterly and annual permits.

If you travel by train at the weekend and want to park your car at the station there’s a great deal, with a weekend cheaper rate offer, which starts from 10am on Friday until 4am on Monday morning.

And for those buying London Midland car park scratch cards the cost of parking is reduced by 10% – with even more discounts available for those who go online to pay for station parking.
