pull into

Drive into place

To pull into a place is to steer a vehicle there and stop: We pulled into the driveway, The train pulled into the station.

The phrase suggests arrival and coming to rest, distinguishing it from pull up to, which emphasizes stopping alongside something.

Pull into often implies entering an enclosed or defined space—a parking lot, a gas station, a harbor.
