List of parkway railway stations in Britain
A parkway railway station is a railway station that primarily serves a park and ride interchange rather than a town or city centre. The name parkway originally referred to Bristol Parkway being built next to the M32 motorway, which was built through parkland and thus known as the "Bristol Parkway".[1] The term has come to mean equally a park and ride bus and/or other motor car interchange with the UK light, regular or international railway network.[citation needed] One example refers to such an interchange with the tram network.
