medusa   16 #15 Posted September 22, 2017 Whereabouts in Rotherham are you? Have you considered using the A629 to come across through Chapeltown and parking on one of the on street spaces all along the route through Hillsborough/ Lower Walkley/ Langsett Estate/ Upperthorpe? Blue and yellow trams every couple of minutes in the morning.  As long as you're careful to avoid the clearway restrictions along Langsett Road there are lots of uncontrolled parking spaces in the side roads near stops.  When I mention the clearway restrictions I mean that the clearway extends from Langsett Road itself up the first 10/15m up each side road, and anybody leaving a vehicle on that space is likely to get a ticket within a few minutes, but outside of that area on each road (and Langsett Road itself) and some very specific residents' parking schemes there's still lots of parking that's open during the days.

scimsfan   10 #16 Posted September 22, 2017 "-Nunnery Square- can't pay for parking separately and i've already bought my tram ticket"  Yes you can. £2.50 a day from the machine, just select parking only from the options. Card ticket with barcode on it. Machine will keep day tickets when you exit at the barrier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Andy C Â Â 85 #17 Posted September 23, 2017 I doubt they'll open without parking eye surveying the car park. Why would they? Ikea car parks are a big enough pain in the arse without freeloaders filling up spaces every day. Â IKEA have said they won't be stopping tram passengers park there - it's a big car park and hey they may even pop into the store or cafe now and again - but it's not being advertised just in case Its busier in the daytime than they expected and they change their mind!

Annie Bynnol   612 #18 Posted September 23, 2017 I doubt they'll open without parking eye surveying the car park. Why would they? Ikea car parks are a big enough pain in the arse without freeloaders filling up spaces every day.  "All IKEA stores have free parking* which include Disabled and Parent & Baby parking bays...equipped with electric car chargers ...  *Free parking subject to a minimum spend at IKEA Southampton and IKEA Coventry(which are in their city centres)."  There is no indication parking costs - yet. Since they do not open until 10:00 (09:30 café) should be plenty of parking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

chisholm   10 #22 Posted September 23, 2017 could anybody confirm this please ? I’ve seen the odd dodgy-looking car get clamped at Meadowhall Shopping Centre, but didn’t know it went any further than that. Clamping re parking enforcement is now illegal. There is aprking policy at Meadowhall: http://i65.tinypic.com/295pc2h.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
