Have you had any communication with STH?? I'm sure there will be plans in place for employees to get to workplaces so I think they could be a good start, Do you know anyone with a Sheffield Teaching Hospitals E-Mail, they might have already had internal communications.

 

You could also try contacting the department seeing your brother if they have any contingency plans for patients possibly arriving late.

Looking at the route map getting from Hyde Park flats to the NGH on race day is going to be a PITA.

 

If driving off the top of my head he could do City Centre to Shepcote Lane, Tinsley Viaduct, Woolley Wood Bottom, Bellhouse Road to Firth Park, Hucklow Road then Barnsley Road to NGH.

 

Public transport. Train from Sheffield to Chapletown then bus 75 to NGH.

I hope you dont mind me saying in an earlier post I advised to avoid this side of Sheffield as this is within 200m of miles of the route.

 

Burngreave to NGH will be fine.

Thanks so much , will let him know , although as a previous poster said , Hospital should let staff know which is best way . I hope so anyway

Depends which part of Burngreave. The race does to straight down Burngreave Road. Be on the wrong side of Burngrave Road and people are in for a massive detour.

The road will be closed so if you are in a car then you will have no choice other than to go around. There will be lots of crossing points so on foot you will be able to access bus stops still or on a bike wont be a problem.
