* Biggleswade has three station 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.

† Tickets for Royston station car park can be purchased by debit or credit card by phoning 0845 050 7080 – but spaces cannot be reserved, so phone when you have secured a place in the car park.

Car park season tickets (monthly, quarterly, annual or premier) can be purchased online and prices for all First Capital Connect stations can be found on the First Capital Connect online car park season ticket booking.

Car park season tickets (monthly, quarterly, annual or premier) can also be purchased from the parking helpline on 0845 050 7080 or 0845 680 0023 (Monday to Friday from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm excluding Bank Holidays).

Scratch cards – books of 10 daily scratch cards and weekly scratch cards can be purchased at stations or by phoning 0845 670 0023.  There is no saving on these.
