Default OT - Parking in Cambridge

It's a REAL shame that the Park & Ride closes so early. It means I can
never use it, since if I want to attend dinner in College it's not
going to be available for my return journey. Even if they only
operated once an hour between say 8p.m. and midnight it would be
something.


Trumpington Park and Ride: last bus 8-9ish, but you can get the Citi 7
(hourly until 11) which stops 5 mins walk away. It's covered on your P&R
ticket.

Similarly Citi 4 (Madingley Rd), Citi 2 (Milton, not sure if it still goes
near the new P&R), but I'm not sure if there are ticket sharing arrangements
for these.

In terms of onstreet parking, the following are all free after 5 or 6:

West of town:
Queens Rd (*)
West Road/Sidgwick Avenue/Herschel Road/Adams Road/Cranmer Road

Southwest: Newnham Rd, Barton Rd, Trumpington Rd (near Botanic Gardens) (*)

South: Harvey Rd, St Pauls Rd, Gresham Rd

Northeast:
Victoria Avenue bus lane (after 7pm or all day Sundays, I think) (*)
Mitcham's Corner
Chesterton Road (near Jesus Green)


(*) means there's a great volume of parking spaces in that one place.

With varying amounts of walk to get into town (10-20 mins from most I'd
imagine).
