New car park at Collingham station
- Region & Route:
A new 58-space car park has now been completed at Collingham station near Newark, Lincolnshire.
The car park has three additional disabled parking bays, direct access to platform 2, including a ramp for mobility impaired passengers, CCTV coverage and energy saving LED floodlighting.
The car park will improve safety by removing the need for passengers to park on the main road close to the level crossing. It will also allow for predicted growth in passenger numbers in the future.
The scheme has been supported by East Midlands Trains, Nottinghamshire County Council, Newark and Sherwood District Council, Nottingham – Lincoln Railway Stakeholder Board, Collingham Parish Council and Friends of Collingham Station.

We own, operate and develop Britain's railway infrastructure; that's 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We run 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are run by the country's train operating companies.
Usually, there are almost five million journeys made in the UK and over 600 freight trains run on the network. People depend on Britain's railway for their daily commute, to visit friends and loved ones and to get them home safe every day. Our role is to deliver a safe and reliable railway, so we carefully manage and deliver thousands of projects every year that form part of the multi-billion pound Railway Upgrade Plan, to grow and expand the nation's railway network to respond to the tremendous growth and demand the railway has experienced - a doubling of passenger journeys over the past 20 years.
