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

Last updated 28th November 2022

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?
