But you won’t need to spend the night there unless you are taking the morning sailing on a Sunday - all the other departures from Plymouth this summer are in a afternoon or overnight.

Hi, I’m sailing from Plymouth on Sunday morning. Not sure whether to stop at the services Saturday night or stay at Plymouth. Are we allowed to sleep in the check in lanes and if so do we needs to pay for overnight parking? Also have they got toilets that are open 24/7?


Cheers
Forboy…….

Forboy,, the final mile to Plymouth ferryport is through the city centre but your approach at 9 pm should be fairly traffic free. i think there will be a few others parking overnight at the port but I doubt if you will find it busy.

But for someone who said he won’t arrive till 9 pm. And will be leaving next morning at 6.30 am to go to the ferry paying £38 at Riverside is a bit steep.
