Detour options

Whatley Crescent car park closure

The western Whatley Crescent passenger car park will be closed from Monday 23 November for site preparation works.

Works for the new Bayswater Station are ramping up. Part of these works mean that the western (CBD-side) Whatley Crescent car park will be permanently closed.

The car park is already partially closed, this will be the final section of car park to close.

The eastern Whatley Crescent car park will remain open until 4 January 2021.

Throughout construction the Railway Parade car park will stay open and additional car parking was added at Meltham and Ashfield stations, with free parking available at Ashfield Station until the new Bayswater Station opens

The Bayswater Station bike shelter will close as of Friday 20 November 2020. Additional bike lockers will be installed in the northern passenger car park along Railway Parade. Bike lockers were deemed to be the best temporary bike storage solution.
