Tamworth Train Station has benefited from a huge investment from London Midland (The stations operator) on their stations, with the addition of 79 new car parking spaces through adding a deck to the car park.

Many mornings, commuters pack out the car park as they commute to either Birmingham or London.  Astonishingly the structure only took one weekend to construct and was open to cars within one week.

Alex Hynes, London Midland’s Commercial Director said:

“Tamworth is the latest station to benefit from the £8million being spent to improve car parks across our network. We are committed to delivering 1000 additional spaces for London Midland’s passengers. The opening of the additional spaces at Tamworth keeps us firmly on track to deliver on our promise.”

On top of the new spaces, London Midland are also providing benefits to those who use the train and leave their car in Tamworth.  Parking permits are free for those who have electric cars and their are discounts for those whose cars are registered as producing less than 120g of Carbon Dioxide per KM.  For those who use the train at the weekend, the station is also offering cheaper weekend parking from 10am Friday morning thru till 4am Monday mornings.
