Lidlington car park plan sparks fears of Universal visitors parking up for the day

A proposed 490-space car park at the new East West Rail station has prompted warnings it could take overflow from Universal Studios UK, though East West Rail says the station isn’t intended as a park-and-ride.

Concerns have been raised that a proposed 490-space car park at the new East West Rail station in Lidlington could end up being used by visitors heading to Universal Studios UK.

Councillor Sue Clark warned that without the planned Ridgmont station, Lidlington could come under increasing pressure and risk becoming "collateral damage" from the resort's popularity. However, East West Rail has stressed that Lidlington is not being designed or promoted as a park-and-ride site, describing it instead as a station for local rail users.

The debate highlights the ongoing questions around transport infrastructure, parking and traffic management as plans for Universal Studios UK continue to progress across the Marston Vale.
