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 addition, rail replacement buses will be using the car park at this station on the following dates, so spaces are expected to be very limited on 25th, 26th, and 27th February 2025. We apologise for any inconvenience caused during this time.

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.
