APCOA have worked in the rail sector for almost 20 years supporting clients including Network Rail, Great Western Railway, TransPennine Express, Arriva Rail North and Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR)
APCOA is the UK's market leader in this sector, managing over 92,000 parking spaces at 535 rail sites and providing a range of services covering, car park management, security management, site patrols, cash collection, customer service, taxi rank and permit management
The car continues to be the preferred means of travel to railway stations and with the increase in passenger numbers, the demand for convenient and cost effective parking facilities is also growing.
APCOA is responsible for all aspects of rail station parking management. Control of station parking depends on the size of the station and its parking facilities. The average number of passengers per day per station can vary from as little as 100 to around 100,000. This huge range means that there is no uniform solution to parking provision or management.
To ensure that we achieve our sales and service targets for our rail clients, at APCOA we provide a dedicated workforce which covers customer service, security patrolling duties, administration, enforcement duties, season ticket sales, parking equipment supply, maintenance and management.
