Train operator First Capital Connect has launched the Park & Pay by Phone scheme at Royston, Ashwell and Morden, and Meldreth.
The scheme has been launched after a trial period
Karen Boswell, First Capital Connect customer services director, said: "Many of us have been in the position when you are frantically searching for the right change at a parking ticket machine and you can see your train approaching.
"Park & Pay means you can board that train and then pay from your mobile phone.
"It is just one of the flexible payment methods we have put in place to make it easier for our customers when using our stations and car parks," she said.
