Bicester North Station car park refurbishment works to start next week
Refurbishment works to Bicester North Station car park are set to start from next week (Monday 13 January).
As part of a major £3.8million investment, Bicester North Station car park will be refurbished, with the life expired upper deck being replaced by a new ground level car park.
Chiltern Railways are also re-opening the lower (Woodyard) car park for customer use and refurbishing the customer toilets at the station during 2025.
Works to resurface the lower (Woodyard) car park are taking place from Monday 13 January. Once complete, this car park will reopen and offer additional parking for customers.
From March, specialist teams will be mobilising and planning the removal of the life expired upper deck at Bicester North before refurbishing the ground level car park. Parking capacity will be temporarily reduced during the works, with customers travelling towards London being encouraged to use Bicester Village Station car park.
The finished project will provide a total of 365 spaces at the station.
Michael Stewart, Commercial & Customer Strategy Director at Chiltern Railways, said:
“This programme of works at Bicester North are crucial to improving our car park offering and will allow us to deliver easier, greener and better journeys for local customers.
“Although works to the station will start next week, the main car park will be part-closed from March and the lower Woodyard car park will be reopened to offer additional space for customers.
“I would like to thank customers and local residents for their patience while the project is being carried out.”
From March, customers travelling to London Marylebone are advised to use Bicester Village car park.
Customers travelling to stations towards Birmingham who are unable to secure a parking space at Bicester North can use the shuttle bus to travel between Bicester Village and Bicester North free of charge.
A drop-in session will be taking place at Bicester North between 4pm and 6.30pm on 29 January 2024 where Chiltern Railways’ colleagues will field questions about the project.
