Guest busdriver1 Â Â #13 Posted October 20, 2018 My sat nav preview is saying take the parkway and not the other way ? Which way is best? Â Dont do the parkway, may be ok, may not. You will only find out when its too late. I attend there frequently from Rotherham and never have any problem parking but there again I am not afraid to pay for parking. The site at NGH is big so allow 15 minutes to get from the car park to your appointment. I would say from The travel lodge you should leave about an hour before and you will get there in plenty time.

Annie Bynnol   612 #14 Posted October 20, 2018 My sat nav preview is saying take the parkway and not the other way ? Which way is best?   The location of the reception for your clinic will be shown on your appointment letter. There are many different receptions! This governs which of the many car parks you use which in turn governs the hospital entrance you use (Herries or Barnsley Road). Satnavs might plot different routes to these different entrances at different times of day. Locals and hospital users can and have provided a wide variety of routes and options for you. Most will say to avoid the Parkway into the City as it can have long tail-backs at that time-avoid. I would use the A6102 all the way. Just follow the big red H A & E signs from the roundabout.  The Sheffield Meadowhall Travelodge would provide much quicker access to the NGH and has a regular bus to the NGH.

Daven   10 #16 Posted October 20, 2018 Again I would say - get a taxi or someone to drop you off. For a 10am appointment you are very unlikely to find somewhere to park nearby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Many still struggle to park despite having one. Hope your appointment went well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
