Can my vehicle be clamped at the park and ride sites?

Last updated 5th of October 2023

Parking enforcement, which may also include vehicle clamping is now in operation in our park-and-ride sites (From October 2022).

Our park and ride sites are for the sole use of tram ticket holders. If you are parking in one of our park-and-ride sites, you must have a valid tram ticket or a travel card which has been scanned for your journey from the point of parking. Leaving your vehicle without using the NET system may result in your vehicle being clamped. For information regarding overnight parking, you may wish to read this article: Can I park my vehicle overnight?

You are not permitted to leave your vehicle in a NET park-and-ride site without using the tram services. Doing so may result in your vehicle being clamped. Once you have parked your car, you must proceed directly to use the NET system.

Your vehicle may also be clamped for the following reasons:

• Vehicles parked outside of the designated parking bays
• Vehicles blocking other vehicles
• Vehicles parked in disabled bays without a visible blue badge
• Vehicles without valid TAX, MOT or insurance
• Vehicles parked on the pedestrian walkways
• Vehicles parked on grass verges or areas away from the designated parking bays
• Non-electric vehicles parked in the 'electric vehicles only' spaces

Vehicle parking enforcement is carried out by CPS Midlands Ltd

If you have parked within a designated parking bay and have used the NET tram services, you will also need to include a copy of your NET tram ticket or a photo of your travel card which was used for a journey on the NET system.
