APCOA now operates our station car parks
APCOA Parking UK now operates and manages our railway station car parks on behalf of Transport for Wales.
How does this affect me?
PayByPhone
If you’re already registered on the PayByPhone app, you can use the same details to login to your account and use the app to pay for parking across all TfW station car parks.
For full details visit the PayByPhone website.
Season tickets
If you have a Season parking ticket for any TfW station car park, this will remain valid until its current expiry date. You can continue to purchase these from our ticket machines.
Please make sure your paper Season ticket is always displayed when parking in a station car park.
If you’d like to purchase a virtual Season ticket, please visit the APCOA website to register. Remember you’ll need to do this before your current ticket expires.
Blue Badge holder?
Please remember to display your blue badge if you’re parking in one of our accessible bays. You’ll pay our standard rates if parking charges apply.
Taxi portal
If you haven’t already, please register and apply for a new virtual taxi permit on the APCOA website to use this in TfW station car parks.

Car parking restrictions
We’re carrying out infrastructure works across the Wales and borders rail network to revitalise our stations and provide faster, more frequent services that better meet the needs of our customers.
At some of our stations, there may be fewer parking spaces available as we need to provide access to the railway for our contractors.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience this causes. We’re working hard to complete these works safely, as soon as we can.
Please visit our station pages to find out if any parking restrictions are in place.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)
ANPR is being introduced at a number of our pay-to-park station car parks. This technology will help us to:
- manage our car parks more effectively;
- keep parking facilities safer and more secure for our customers;
- better understand how and when our car parks are being used;
- help ensure parking spaces remain available for rail customers;
- identify unauthorised parking, overstays and other breaches of the car park terms and conditions; and
- support future improvements to parking facilities and wider transport planning.
There are no other changes to our pay-to-park car parks, and parking charges will continue to apply at the stations listed below.
If you park at one of our stations, please look out for ANPR signage on arrival.
