Car Parking

You can pay for your car parking through a range of channels:

Park with PayByPhone

You can now use PayByPhone to pay for you parking at all Greater Anglia NCP station car parks. PayByPhone is an app which enables you to quickly and easily pay for your parking with just a few taps. PaybyPhone replaces the Dash App.

Why should you use PayByPhone?

1. No need to worry about having the right change on you.
2. You don’t need to put a ticket on your dashboard
3. Receive a text message to remind you your session is about to expire
4. If you’re running late, there’s no need to rush – simply top up your parking wherever you are by using the extend-from-anywhere service

Where can I use PayByPhone?

You will be able to use PayByPhone to pay for you parking at all Greater Anglia NCP station car parks. Each car park has its own unique Location Number, which you will see displayed in signs and on the side of the pay and display machines in the car park. You will also be able to use their maps and near-by feature within the app to locate your closest car park location number.

For a full list of locations, please visit the PayByPhone website.
