At the town council meeting held in Thionville on Monday 18 November, local councillors set out the charges for the future silo car park, to be known as the Joseph-Bech car park, at Thionville’s train station. A monthly weekday pass will cost €65.

By the end of the first quarter of 2025 at the latest, the new 629-space car park next to Thionville station should be open to the public after two years of work. The inauguration of this facility, co-financed by the municipality of Thionville, Luxembourg and the Grand Est Region, is expected to take place in June.

On Monday evening, Thionville’s local councillors were asked to vote on the prices that will be charged, based on three price scales: one for the week from Monday to Friday from 5am to 10pm, one for the weekend from Friday 5pm to Sunday 10pm, and another for an unlimited pass. A subscription system will also be offered to users, by the month, quarter, half-year or year. Mayor Pierre Cuny also mentioned the possibility of a P+R + train pass. Here are the prices.

Monthly rate

Monday to Friday, 5am to 10pm: €65

Friday (5pm) to Sunday (10pm): €20

Unlimited: 80€

Quarterly rate

Monday to Friday, 5am to 10pm: €180

Friday (5pm) to Sunday (10pm): €50

Unlimited: 200€

Half-yearly rate

Monday to Friday, 5am to 10pm: €325

Friday (5pm) to Sunday (10pm): €100

Unlimited: 400€

Annual rate

Monday to Friday, 5am to 10pm: €650

Friday (5pm) to Sunday (10pm): €200

Unlimited: 800€

The new facilities should further encourage cross-border workers to use public transport, particularly the train. For those who already take the train every morning, the new car park should make parking easier, as the three car parks around the station are often full.

The new car park is also part of a wider project supported by the local authority, which aims to redevelop the right bank into a multimodal hub comprising the station, the future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system and three bridges, including the Passerelle de l’Europe, with new housing and office space planned for 2026.
