Parking at Kemble Station set to double

Parking at Kemble Station is set to double by the summer after work began on a new car park.

The £1.4 million works are due to complete by mid-Summer, and will provide 333 additional spaces at a new, separate car park.

“More and more people are turning to rail for their local and long distance journeys; to meet this demand later this year we will start to see brand new Intercity Express Trains on the GWR network, offering more seats and more frequent services.
