Park and Ride - It's just the ticket

Winchester Park and Ride General Information

The Winchester Park and Ride (P&R) service offers a convenient and cost effective way to travel into Winchester. We now have Park and Ride sites situated on the East, South and West sides of Winchester to accommodate visitors travelling from nearly every direction. Park and Ride has been developed as a way of reducing traffic volumes and the impact of traffic in the city centre, making Winchester a more pleasant environment.

The ticket machines at the car parks are Pay and Display. On payment they produce two tickets - one to display in the vehicle and the other to show to the driver of the Park and Ride bus so you and your passengers (up to 6 passengers) can travel for free. The bus driver will give each passenger their own bus ticket to be used on their bus journeys.

Customers can also pay for parking using their mobile/smart phone and credit/debit card via RingGo. Upon payment with RingGo, just show your proof of payment to the bus driver.
