East Midlands Trains has now extended its bargain £5 a day parking offer at East Midlands Parkway station to everyone.
Previously rail users had to have their car park voucher validated by the ticket office in order to qualify for the discount. This added an unnecessary level of complexity for passengers. By extending the £5 price to everyone – train users and those who are not using the train – it is now easier for everyone.
Commenting David Horne, Commercial Director for East Midlands Trains said: “We have a mission to make it easier for people to buy train tickets. In the past few weeks we have launched our new website and installed many more self-service ticket machines at our stations. This is the next step in that process – by having a one-tier pricing charge at East Midlands Parkway, the process becomes easier for our customers. As an added bonus, non-train users get cheaper parking!”
Car parking for non-rail users was previously charged at £9 per day, and rail users at £5 per day. Everybody will now be able to park for £5 per day, regardless of whether they are travelling by train.
East Midlands Parkway station is located 5 mins from Junction 24 of the M1, with a rail link shuttle service running every 30 mins between the station and East Midlands Airport.
