ken_lym Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I've spent some half an hour this morning driving around the hospital for a parking bay, as the multi-storey one was full. I've been driving up and down the Collegiate Crescent, and was only lucky enough to find one on Park Lane on my 4th round. I bet Q Park or NCP could make a fortune by building one just next to the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just got back from there, two hours thirty minutes in total from the other side of the city on public transport including appointment. I don't think that's too bad, I wouldn't dream of going there in the car and chance missing an appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 When you have 4 hospitals and a major university within such a small geographical area, there will never be enough car parking spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffandy Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I bet Q Park or NCP could make a fortune by building one just next to the hospital. The new one on Durham Street is QPark,due to open in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euclid Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 My wife goes to the Hallamshire yearly to see her Diabetic Consultant,we live approx' 13 miles from there near to Worksop.We always catch a bus to Pond Street and then another to the Hospital.After her consultation we take a stroll back down Glossop Rd/West St etc to Pond St. and board a bus home.This usually takes around 5 hours,before we had our bus pass' it would cost around £11 in fares but it was still better than trying to find somewhere to park.

Marx Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Try Gloucester Street. You used to be able to park for up to four hours in some places for free. Don't know if you still can. It is a five minute uphill saunter to the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloucester Street appears (on google maps) to be permit holders only. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.377241,-1.4887668,3a,20.5y,265.79h,87.24t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1swyjnKfXTC0FaaaRkgw_z_g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_1 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 We go to Chesterfield Hospital. Loads of cheap parking, you never have to wait long to be seen and the whole place is just a million miles better than Sheffield hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLAR Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Melbourne Avenue is 4 hour, paid parking. There are usually spaces there. Just a short stroll to the Hallamshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
