tank   10 #1 Posted March 9, 2004 hey all,  soon my partner and i will be moving to Sheffield. One of us will be commuting to Huddersfield (by car) the other will be commuting to Nottingham (by public transport: bus/tram & then train), so have you any suggestions for the best place to live that'll give us easy access to the roads going north to Huddersfield but is also easy to get to the train station from? We will be renting - we'd prefer a detatched house in a quiet area.  any suggestions would be gratefully received, i know nothing about Sheffield!!!  Thanks  Tanya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cyclone   10 #2 Posted March 12, 2004 my SO commutes to huddersfield, as long as you're close the A61 it's not a long or difficult drive.  Don't know about nottingham, but somwhere close to the tram will give you easy access to the train station.  hillsborough would fit the bill.

mikey   10 #3 Posted March 12, 2004 Try Chesterfield  Quicker and easier for train to Nottingham Close to M1 for driving to Huddersfield  And rental will be cheaper. You can always come to Sheffield when you need to.  Other than that Norfolk Park area (Norfolk Rd)  Walk to train station and easy for Parkway/M1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cyclone   10 #4 Posted March 12, 2004 chesterfield is 7 junctions further away from huddersfield. In rush hour that probably equates to at least an hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jayne   10 #5 Posted March 12, 2004 Instinct would say Chapeltown (not really sure what it's like though) it's on the trainline to Huddersfield - and the A629 - and the train the other way goes back to Shef and from there you can go to Nottingham - not far from the M1 either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Skatiechik   10 #6 Posted March 12, 2004 I would most definitely say Chapeltown as well. Is quiet, and you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a nice house to rent. Area tends to have a fair share of young professionals/families.  Stocksbridge is out of the question as no train station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
