West car park at Banbury Station reopens
19/12/2025
The car park can now be accessed from Tramway, rather than via Bridge Street
The west car park at Banbury Train Station has reopened.
As part of Oxfordshire County Council’s multi-million pound Tramway improvement works a new road has been built enabling access to the car park from the south. The scheme also includes footways, cycleways and bus stops.
Commuters and those travelling over the festive period can now drive into the west car park from Tramway Road, using the new mini roundabout. Drivers can also drop off passengers on Tramway Road.
Station Approach Road north and the station forecourt are also now open for drop off and parking.
Councillor Judy Roberts, Cabinet Member for Place, Environment and Climate Action, said: “I’m very pleased that we’ve been able to reach this milestone in this much needed project for Banbury. Residents now have more choice in how they access Banbury Rail Station and, crucially, we’ve made it possible to improve bus access in the new year.
“If you are walking, cycling or wheeling, new footpaths and cycleways will make journeys safer. In the new year, the B3, 489 and 499 buses routes will begin stopping outside and we will complete work on an extra passenger drop off facility.
“Our ambition has always been to make it easier to get to Banbury Rail Station and take the train onwards and this new travel hub will make a positive difference to station users into the new year and beyond.”
Work on the project began in October 2024, with access to the industrial estate and Banbury United’s football ground via Tramway opening in June this year.
