dronskisaint Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 Can anyone tell me the parking/park & ride arrangements at Colchester please? I've looked for the thread that I read earlier (Thorpe le Saint?)but can't find it. Many thanks in advance - not been to the new ground - saw us in a cup match at Layer Road in the Ossie era once.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 27 December, 2009 Posted 27 December, 2009 (edited) Can anyone tell me the parking/park & ride arrangements at Colchester please? I've looked for the thread that I read earlier (Thorpe le Saint?)but can't find it. Many thanks in advance - not been to the new ground - saw us in a cup match at Layer Road in the Ossie era once. Okie Dokie: There are shuttle buses which run from just outside Colchester North station (near a 'Big Yellow Storage', you can't miss it) It is a £1 return and is your best bet as Colchester Borough Council love to slap a ticket on the windscreen of ANY car parked around the stadium on matchday. Parking in Colchester is a bloody nightmare, there are multi-stories in the centre of town but are miles away from the ground and the station. There is a rather large car park at the station however, and on a weekend (and I assume a bank holiday) it is £2 for the whole day. Buses also run from the pubs around the old Layer Road ground, but again, parking around there is difficult. The nearest car park to the station (in case you have difficulty finding it or on the off chance it is full up!) is the nicely named "St.Mary's" car park, follow the parking signs for 'shoppers'. To find the nearest pub to the station (as there are none as far as I'm aware around the ground) just turn right out of the station, under the bridge and you should see it in front of you. For your Yates, O'Neils etc in the town centre, get a cab from the station, should cost you know more than £7 There is also an ASDA opposite the station, where it is free to park, however it is operated by NCP so you would be taking a chance to park there. Hope this info is of some use :-) Edited 27 December, 2009 by Thorpe-le-Saint
