Customers parking at Thanet Parkway railway station will be charged from January 15.
Parking had been free for an introductory period when the station opened at the end of July.
Prices from January 15th are:
40 minutes free for drop off and pick up
Daily rate Mon-Fri = £5.10 (£3.90 on Sat)
Weekly season ticket = £22.00
Monthly season ticket = £78.00
A Southeastern spokesperson said: “ Customers numbers have been growing steadily since the station opened on 31 July, with the local community taking advantage of the new travel opportunities on our high speed services to and from London, as well as our mainline services across Kent.
“The car park is managed by our project partner Kent County Council and the introductory free parking offer will be coming to an end on Monday 15 January. Charges will be similar to nearby Ramsgate station, which is £5.10 per day from Monday to Friday.
“More details about the operation of the car park will soon be available on signs at the station, and on the operator website at myringgo.co.uk.”
There is space for 293 cars at Thanet Parkway station, including 16 Blue Badge holders and 12 charging points for electric vehicles.
Thanet Parkway Station opened on July 31 some 13 years after the scheme was first proposed and at a cost that quadrupled from an estimated £11m in 2015 to just shy of £44m.
The total price tag may even exceed £44m as further funding has been needed to complete level crossing and signalling work. The project work was impacted by rising inflation.
The Isle of Thanet News previously reported a further spend of £48.6k is being made for a Thanet Parkway cost review and report commissioned by Kent County Council and being carried out by West Midlands based Sable Leigh Consultancy. That report is due to be completed by next February.
County Councillor Karen Constantine also confirmed a £30,000 spend for installing 38 speed bumps across Parkway car park to stop nuisance drivers.
