[MEL] When Do You Get Train Station Parking?

How early in general do you need to be at the train station in order to find a parking on weekdays?

My local station gets filled by 6:30! Crazy!!

      Drat.

  • U should usually get a spot..it just depends how far you're willing to walk.

    Look around the residential spots. (im sure u already do this)

    Walk to the station

  • What part of Melbourne are you in?

    There are some inner suburban stations car parks - small, boring suburbs that many people have never heard of - that will still have space around 8am-8.30am

      Let's keep it that way.

    Parking at my local station is now gone by 5:30am since some inconsiderate people have parked their construction machinery in some of the spots.

  • I'm in between 2 stations, both of them have a huge car park but only 1/2 of it is all day parking.. logically it makes a lot of sense /s

  • Location?
    I would venture to say at Darwin train station you could rock up at any time and get a parking space.

    • Darwin CBD underground station is normally pretty packed, but you can normally get a park at Humpty Doo station if you're there before 7am

    This is something you should have negotiated before buying a train…

    Take a bus from the nearest stop from your house

  • Few parking usually available @ 7:30 and then almost entirely full by 8.

    Berwick is pretty good at all times of the day

    6.30AM is about right at my local station. I get the bus. Luckily it's right outside the house and runs express to the station.

    • That's perfect public transport positioning.
      Whereabouts in Melbourne is this?

  • Just moved to Lilydale in Vic, heading into the city this week so parked at the station for the first time. Half full to three quarters full at 6:45am and filling steadily.
