Formby Station

Alright, so you're heading to Formby and thinking of hopping on the train? The car park at Formby Station (that's south Formby, Liverpool postcode L37) is a decent shout. Best thing is, it's totally free.

Now, don't go thinking you can roll up at midday on a Saturday in July and stroll straight in. It gets BUSY, especially weekends and school holidays. You might be circling for a bit, so factor that into your journey. It's right next to the station, so dead handy for getting on the train into town or, you know, further afield.

It's a pretty standard car park, nothing fancy. Just a place to dump the car without getting stung for a few quid. If you're heading to the beach, it's a good starting point, but be prepared for a bit of a walk, or you could grab a bus from near the station.

One tip: get there early if you want a guaranteed space, especially if the sun's out. You might need to add an extra 20-30 minutes to your journey to find a space at peak times.
