Why use it?
Avoid the stress of city centre parking with 650 spaces available on the park and ride site. Buses travel between the site and the city centre stopping at North Road (set down only), the Hospital, Queen Square, China Street and the bus station, just short walks from the Railway Station and the City Centre respectively.
The site doesn’t just cater for park and ride, it’s also the perfect place to meet up for car sharing as it is located right next to the M6 with easy access for travelling north or south. And, with the River Lune just a short distance away from the park and ride, it's an ideal location to take advantage of the free parking and enjoy walking and cycling along the river.
