The Parking and Mobility at Stations Design Manual provides guidance for parking and mobility planning in and around stations establishing the vision for the future integration and use of emerging mobility technologies and services. 

The guidance is based on best practice, benchmarking, available published advice and research, and standards and specifications where they currently exist. The guidance refers to a range of Network Rail and external standards that can help users with their projects. 

The intended audience for the Parking and Mobility at Stations Design Manual are project design and delivery teams including: 

→ Asset owner-maintainer

→ Contractors/project delivery 

→ Designers and architects 

→ Local Authorities 

→ Developers 

→ Engineers 

→ Project managers 

→ Project sponsors 

→ Network Rail Property

Passengers and the General Public should also be encouraged to access this document and share its ambitions

Purpose

The Parking and Mobility at Stations Design Manual has been prepared in anticipation of changes to how people will access railway stations over the coming decade. It presents good practice in the design of station parking and mobility facilities to inform the development of new schemes and for upgrades to existing Network Rail sites in order to achieve maximum customer satisfaction.

The remit for this document is an ambitious one, looking to provide guidance for parking and mobility planning and design in and around stations that will still be relevant by the end of the current decade when sales of new diesel and petrol vehicles are due to be banned in the UK. 

The guidance is written to inform current projects and it looks to the future, to innovations and trends that could influence parking facility design. It should be considered as a living document to be reviewed and updated as the need arises.
