Telford Central Station Car Park parking fine: rules, free time and how to appeal

Telford Central Station Car Park is a station car park serving West Midlands Railway in Telford, on Euston Way, Overdale (TF3 4LZ). Parking here is managed by Saba Park Services UK, a private operator and member of the British Parking Association (BPA), so a ticket from this car park is a private Parking Charge Notice, not a council fine. The car park has roughly 187 spaces.

Saba Park Services UK enforces the rules at Telford Central Station Car Park using number-plate recognition (ANPR) cameras that log the time you drive in and out. If you got a charge here it will usually have arrived by post, addressed to the registered keeper, and the times on it are camera times, not the time you parked.

The rules at Telford Central Station Car Park

There is no free period at Telford Central Station Car Park: you pay from the moment you arrive.

The tariff we recorded is: Mon-Fri £8.50 if arriving before 10am, £5.50 after 10am; weekends and bank holidays £5.50; weekly, monthly and annual tickets available. You can pay by the Saba app, Saba website, the Trust app and two on-site machines by the cycle racks. Because the cameras match payments to your registration, the registration you enter has to match your vehicle exactly.

This 187-space station car park is run by Saba with number-plate cameras and is open around the clock. You can pay on the day or later, but payment must be made by just before 4am the morning after you arrive. A late-October 2026 forum case involved a driver who received two charges after paying through the Saba app with Apple Pay, only to find no money had actually left their account. If you pay by app, check for a confirmation and a matching bank transaction. Blue Badge holders can park free in the marked bays after registering, and in a standard space if those are full. The commuter rate before 10am on weekdays is noticeably higher than the later rate.

How to appeal a charge at Telford Central Station Car Park

1. Don't ignore it. Note the date on the notice: you normally have 28 days to appeal to Saba Park Services UK, and 14 days to pay at the reduced rate if you decide to pay.
2. Gather evidence: photos of the signs and where you parked at Telford Central Station Car Park, receipts, payment records, and anything that explains why you stayed longer.
3. Appeal to Saba Park Services UK in writing. Keep to the facts and keep a copy. If you were not driving, you don't have to say who was.
4. If Saba Park Services UK rejects your appeal, it must give you a code to appeal to POPLA, the independent appeals service for BPA members. POPLA appeals are free, and you have 28 days from the rejection to use the code.

If you were catching a train from Telford Central Station Car Park

Your train ticket, or a delay notice from the train company, is good evidence of why you were parked and for how long. If a train was cancelled or delayed and you had to stay longer, say so with the evidence.

Some station car parks are covered by railway byelaws rather than ordinary parking charges. If your notice mentions byelaws or a penalty fare, the process is different, so check the wording carefully.
