I've gotta go to the Brains brewery tomorrow (in Crawshay street, near the station) for a course and I'm taking the SV to beat the rush hour traffic.

Where's the best place to park it and is it free?

Setting off in an hour or so, so a speedy reply would be much appreciated.

Cheers

There's lots of building work going on there which has mucked up the streets a bit, there's probably parking at the station, I'm sure I've seen bikes there when I've been catching trains. If you're mega stuffed there's an NCP by the station (free maybe?).

Know there's an NCP by the big sleep hotel if all else fails and I can claim any parking back, just wanted to be as close as possible cuz I'm lazy!!

back of the station mate, without a doubt.. ...or if your super lazy, chain the bike to the gates/railings of the brewery itself!! personally, the station is by far the best bet in my eyes as it's covered by CCTV 24/7 too

Station wins the day, only a 2 minute walk to the brewery with my bags, I think I can handle that!!!

Sounds like the station carpark would be the closest but not sure about security there. Doesn't Brains have a carpark?

Dunno till I get there, no mention on their website.

Apparently the station has cctv, if not then I'll stick it in the ncp by the big sleep!

The Brewery has a nice safe car park, better than the station.

I have a private road that runs up alongside the A38/M5 so progress was good, just 1 lightning fuel stop each way!
