Parking for Severn Valley Diesel Gala

[TimSpencer]

Does anyone know of any good parking places now that Bridgnorth is effectively cut off from the rest of the line?
I guess Kidderminster Car Park will be busy and there seems to be limited space at Bewdley.
Anyone tried parking at or near Highley stattion?

The best thing to do would be to get to Kidderminster as early as possible to find a parking place.

Im sure you have your reasons not to, but why not just get the train to Kidderminster?

If you can't get the train from Bridgenorth then Kidderminster is the only place where you can realistically park. If you turn left out of Kidderminster you'll find a car park that l find always has space on the busiest of days( by magistrates court). I have known people to park in the country park near Highly but is a long walk.

The Hawthorns (station and tram stop) has a large free car park and a 30 minute direct train service to Kidderminster, with four trains per hour Mon-Sat.

Don't know how full the car park gets though.

I have never had an issues parking in the large NR station car park between the SVR and the main station at Kidderminster

I've managed to park at Highley most times, either in the small station car park or, if arriving later in the morning, in the village up the hill. There is also a public car park at the Highley Country Park, which is signposted for using if you arwe visiting the SVR, put I've never risked it as the sign says the gates close at 6pm and I'm suuallyn staying later than that.

I've also parked in Bewdley, in one of the side streets off the road leading to Kidderminster (B4190, east of the railway).

This is a good bet, cheaper at weekends and after 10am weekdays.

Bear in mind Lea Street Kidderminster (opposite the station) is residents only parking.

The WFDC car park opposite the law courts is small and pricey.

Don't be tempted to park at Supermarkets near town centre these have ANPR and will fine stays of longer than 2.5 hrs.

On match days Harriers fans park on the wide grass verges on Chester Road South, near the footpath to the footbridge adjacent to the diesel depot.

Stourbridge Jn has a vast car park and is minutes away - and arguably better placed for the motorway.

And it's free of charge for rail users!

 

[D.K.TAYLOR]

Cradley Heath or Stourbridge are both free tend to fill up from 8am day return Cradley Kidderminster £3-65 with railcard £3-15 Stourbridge Kidderminster

Rowley Regis also has a big car park.
