The car park is located on Anchor Street and is now open for cars and bicycles to park. The multi-story car park offers 401 parking spaces alongside 14 electric vehicle charging points and a secure bicycle compound with 50 spaces.
The ground floor also includes 20 blue badge spaces two of which include electric vehicle charging points. The car park is split over 11 floors and features two lifts, powered doors and is fully wheelchair accessible.
At first, people will be able to park from ground floor level up to level 9 as the final two floors are set to be brought into use at a future date.
Bishop’s Stortford railway station is located on the West Anglia Main Line and serves the town of Bishop’s Stortford in Hertfordshire.
Simone Bailey, Greater Anglia‘s Asset Management Director, said:
“Working with our rail industry partners, underutilised land has been released for comprehensive redevelopment – enabling Greater Anglia to provide a brand-new, fit for purpose, multi-storey car park for the benefit of our rail customers and the town centre.
“We know many of our customers are environmentally conscious, and we are pleased that the car park includes a secure cycle compound and 14 electric vehicle charge points – currently the highest number at any station on our network.”

Absolute d*gsh*t car park. No clear signage instruction to pay before or after visit. Numerous signs maintain the you can pay by card ‘at the kiosk’. 20 minutes up and down and around every floor… THERE IS NO BOOTH. You can pay by phone on this number.. That sounds simple enough… Call the number to find that it demands an account to be set up. In the most painfully slow process imaginable. Probably 7-8 minutes pushing buttons, just to enter your car registration. Only then, maybe 35 minutes after arriving does it become clear that they expect payment on arrival.
How any breach of their ‘regulations’ is legally enforceable with such poor communication of expectations is beyond me. My advice to anyone getting a pcn or whatever, contest it. The setup is a total shambles.
Could do with that in Wickford perhaps.
Is it in for the ugliest building of the year award?
Looks like a prison. Or a set for Peaky Blinders. I wouldn’t want to park my car there.
