Drive up the slope towards the station - half way up, turn left through an archway into the old station building: see http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3163/2722710755_76915fe738.jpg?v=0

There should be plenty of spaces at that time on a Monday morning.

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

And make sure you pay the correct fee, otherwise you WILL get a ticket!

Just a thought, but it looks like that one also calls Parkway at 0457: more parking available there and it's cheaper. Fairly easy journey from Portishead too - M5/M4/M32/ring road. Mind you, traffic ain't going to be an issue whatever way you go at that time in the morning...
