Winchester station - Free drop-off / pick-up?

Title says it all really. Am getting conflicting advice re-location and whether free or not. Many thanks.

As no-one else has answered, I’ll have a go. When I last picked up there it must be about 3 or 4 years ago, I found there were about 5 or 6 free ‘on street’ 20 min spaces, on the south side of the public road leading away from the down side entrance. (That’s Station Rd - opposite the shops and taxi rank.) But as they were already taken I had to use the nearby council car park on that side.

But I’m not up to date with any recent changes. I’m also not at all sure if there are any marked waiting spaces in the main car parks, I usually park in the down side car park accessed from Andover Rd, and don’t drive anywhere near the main entrance.

The pick-up/drop-off points are still there, but are often full especially in rush hours. Last time I was there I parked in the car park just outside, which was something like £2 if I remember correctly (but again, there were only a couple of spaces in that).

Thanks for the comments; very appreciated.

If you park in the station car parks you have 20 minutes free parking.
