1295galaxy Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Looks like the Bus changes in Sheffield have just been made to keep buses away from the Main Bus Station,is this because they know they are going to demolish it and put either some more Student Appartments or something else there,Why?wouldn"t the Council admit this is why the bus changes were made,as i was there last night and instead of seeing people waiting for buses it was very empty indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookedspire Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Didn't the bus station have more shelters in the past then they were demolished and the land left for a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYPTE also own the bus station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bus man Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 There were additional platforms where the offices are at the bottom of the bus station think they were platforms F-J. It's land that was the bus park/ Sheffield United Tours office and the works which was the housing department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudbeer Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 They might as well demolish it as its in the wrong place. Most people getting a bus want to be much further up in town. They would be better just having a couple of rows stops for people who want to use the Station and out of town services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield interchange is actually an embarrassment for the city with few facilities, toilets which aren't clean enough sometimes and you pay to go in, information desk doesn't open all day etc. WH Smith only opens a few hours each day. The best bus station by far around here is Doncaster. It is connected to the train station properly and the Frenchgate shopping centre, clean toilets and waiting areas. It was also the last of the 4 South Yorkshire stations to charge for the toilets. Edited March 18, 2016 by Sheff2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
