dutch Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Good example, Sheffield is not made for cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclecar Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 If you live on the South side of Sheffield, use Chesterfield. Well laid out, less expensive, Ok to wait for a few minutes FOC to pick up someone off the train, no stress. Easy to move with your suitcase, no taxi graveyard, etc. I agree, Sheffield Midland approached by car is a nightmare. The genius who designed the layout should be made to live there, a sort of modern day Sisyphus...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike84 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I use the station regularly and never have an issue either getting in to the multistory car park or if I'm being dropped off at the drop off point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 My thoughts are that I can't really understand your description of what the problem was. Where did you turn into the station, there are two entrances. Which lanes were blocked that stopped you reaching the car park? Why is an empty area of privately owned land relevant? Are you suggesting that the council steal it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is, a load of idiots who don't use it. In my opinion there was nothing wrong with the original taxi rank. There was even a bus stop at the station. Brilliant.

bassett one Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Friday 27th approx. 4pm came to royal standard 20 mins to get through lights to cross to station,then got to the corner packed solid on a 2 way street,but some decided to make it a 3 way road blocking the pavement on the right and the on coming side on the left,then a big black car decides he wants to go down the road but cant as some idiots created a 3rd lane going straight forward,after another 20 mins I got across to the drop off point,a police car saw all this but went straight past,it was madness,why not use the huge space of land for taxis and parking,some people say its private land my answer to that is funfairs rent the land ,so could SCC until its built on,its a disgrace and we are the laughing stock of England,we cannot even get a railway station correct.

Guest sibon Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Why didn’t you use the Q park? Free for 30 mins, isn’t it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy266 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 In Dronfield, the half car park that is available by the station is now subject to a parking charge. The side roads nearby are now chocca..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What??? Follow signs for station. Turn left and see big building named "car park". Drive in. I really dont know what the issue is. Never had a problem. Even at busy times its at worst been a few minutes in the queue. I can tell you far worse stations to get parked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
