* Biggleswade The station has three car parks – outside the station (NCP), a second, large, NCP car park beyond the station and to the right of Maurices' yard and a free car park (run by Biggleswade Town Council), just beyond that one, though this often gets full by 7.45 am during term time. Rose Lane car park in Biggleswade is also free – although a large car park, it is a good five minute walk from the station and some parts are subject to flooding.
