Station Message

Due to the construction of a new footbridge and lifts, there will be a temporary reduction in the number of parking spaces at Stowmarket station until the summer of 2025. Customers are therefore advised to plan ahead and to allow some extra time to park in one of the two station car parks.

In connection with these major works, the Platform 1 car park on the London-bound side of the station will be closed from Friday 10th to Monday 13th January 2025, and only approximately half of the spaces in the Platform 2 car park will be available.

  Step free access between platforms is available via the level crossing, although some wheelchair users or customers with restricted mobility may find this route difficult as there is a distance of approximately 600 metres between the two platforms. Wheelchair users or customers with restricted mobility are therefore advised to access the station via Creeting Road West for journeys towards Ipswich and London, or via Prentice Road when heading towards Cambridge, and Norwich. Changing between platforms may take longer than expected due to the level crossing having barriers down, so please allow sufficient time if you are changing trains here.
