Tolworth station parking

[Kumamark]

Looking at making a journey from sussex to north London easier and cheaper by parking at Tolworth station and picking up the train there.

Does anyone know if there are usually spaces about 7:30am, and is the day cost really £4.60? Seems cheap for Surrey.

I wouldn't know how quickly it fills up or what the price is, but looking on Google Maps there's not a lot of spaces in it - I count 32...

You'll also find horrendous traffic northbound on the A240 to get to it. Travelling up from Sussex I'd suspect you could probably find better parking opportunities at quite a few stations closer to where the M23 / A217 would bring you in?

I would plan to get their by 7 so hopefully spaces left by then!

Has the benefit of tapping in to help keep commuting costs down

The other option would be Surbiton and parking at the Sainsburys multi story car park

Ah - if you're using contactless, you could always try my local station of Epsom - there's a few car parks within a 10 minute walk, contactless is available and you have the advantage of three alternative routes into London ( Waterloo, Victoria and London Bridge* ) instead of one, so easier to avoid any disruption as long as the disruption isn't actually at Epsom itself.

*The London Bridge service does not operate when overtime bans are in force.
