Additional Information
Some additional information about parking in norwich station, to cater to all your parking needs
On-street parking
There are some on-street parking spaces within easy walking distance of the station, including four pay-and-display spaces at Recorder Road just over the River Wensum. Some free spaces can be found at Lower Clarence Road or Thorpe Road, though the latter has a 30-minute restriction during peak hours.
Stracey Road has a mixture of free on-street parking and permit parking, and is about six or seven minutes away from the station by foot. The time limit for most of these on-street spaces is two hours, so they’re adequate for meeting passengers or buying tickets, etc. Anyone who is catching a train should opt for off-street parking instead.
Off-street parking
Several off-street parking possibilities exist in the area of Norwich Station. At the station itself, a flat all-day rate of £11.20 is reasonable if you need the sheer convenience, but there’s cheaper parking nearby. The Rose Lane multi-storey or RCP uncovered parking in Mountergate are both cheaper and more flexible on length of stay. All-day parking at RCP Lower Clarence Road, about 10 minutes away, is £7 only for cars.
For great parking deals that make trips away by train even more affordable, you can book privately allocated spaces and driveways via JustPark, as well as regular on-street spots and car park spaces.
Public transport
The number 25 Blue Line bus runs every seven minutes or so and serves the railway station, city centre and Norwich University. As well, the number 5A konnectbus goes to Thorpe Road near the railway station and stops at Norwich Castle among other places. However, this service is less frequent (hourly at off-peak times).
Disabled parking
Disabled parking is free at the NCP Norwich Station Forecourt, with five available bays. There are also disabled bays at most nearby off-street car parks, though normal parking fees apply.
Parking restrictions & event days
Like many cities, Norwich runs a CPZ system where parking is only allowed in designated bays during specific times. Some spaces are for residents only, either during off-peak hours or at any time.
Overnight, weekends & bank holidays
Norwich adheres to Norfolk’s civil parking enforcement policy. This states that parking restrictions may be lifted on Bank Holidays at limited-waiting or pay-and-display parking bays. You have to be sure this is the case by checking relevant signs before leaving the car.
Drop-off and pick-up
There is a drop-off and pick-up point directly outside the railway station with ample room for rear or side loading. This area is signposted from the entrance.
