When to Visit

Park and ride sites follow a clear commuter pattern — demand surges on weekday mornings as people drive in and catch the bus, then stays high until the evening return. Arriving before 8am gives you the best chance of a space. Weekends are very quiet, as most park and rides see minimal non-commuter use. The larger capacity means you’re unlikely to be turned away except during the busiest periods.
