Does anyone know if itโ€™s easy to get parked at Peterborough station?

Travelling from Peterborough tomorrow afternoon - need to leave the car for a few days. Iโ€™ve never been to Peterborough before... anyone know if the station car park is typically rammed or is it big enough that I am likely to get a space?

It's really expensive. There's a much cheaper one on Oundle Road - Fair Meadow car park, a short walk away. If you're ok with paying the station parking charge you should be able to find a space, even if it's in the overflow (near Waitrose).

Thank you very much - itโ€™s a work expense so I can claim the station one if space is available

Good advice from PP.
However, check the dates carefully as Pleasure Fair car park is about to close next week for 3 weeks - because the fair will be coming.

Station car park is open air.

Queensgate Shopping Centre Car Park across the road is covered.

Itโ€™s fine to leave your car at Peterborough station, plus there is a weekender ticket rate. You have to pay hourly at queensgate. There is cctv in the car park. There should be loads of spaces on a Friday afternoon. Itโ€™s numberplate recognition so no tickets, you just pay at the machine on your way back and itโ€™s not closed at night. It doesnโ€™t feel unsafe ( obviously no car park is totally risk free)

The car park is big and there is usually space because itโ€™s so expensive. The holiday inn across the road also lets you park there for a lesser fee but itโ€™s more secure.
