Finding a parking spot at this Essex train station is a real struggle, with many calling it a chaotic experience.
Essex: Commuters love living here for easy access to London. But parking at the train station? That’s a whole different story.
Many folks prefer to park and ride. It helps them dodge traffic and the congestion charge. The London Underground has several stations with big car parks. Epping station is the biggest, boasting 532 spaces.
It’s open 24/7, and you can leave your car for a week. Plus, it’s just a 50-minute Tube ride to Central London. Sounds great, right? But here’s the catch.
Despite all those spaces, people say it’s a nightmare to find a spot. Some claim it’s full by early morning. It’s popular because it connects directly to major hubs like Stratford and Liverpool Street.
Visitors have described the parking situation as “gladiatorial.” They’re not kidding! One user said, “You’ll be lucky to find parking after 7 am.”
Another added that the road leading to the station is often chaotic. Drivers seem to have a fierce attitude. It’s not just a simple park and ride; it’s a battle!
One review even warned to avoid the station during peak times. It’s just too hectic. So, if you’re planning to park there, be prepared for a challenge!
