lilypiglet   10 #723 Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) My brother has to get to NGH on day of race , does anyone know best way to get there  Have you had any communication with STH?? I'm sure there will be plans in place for employees to get to workplaces so I think they could be a good start, Do you know anyone with a Sheffield Teaching Hospitals E-Mail, they might have already had internal communications.  You could also try contacting the department seeing your brother if they have any contingency plans for patients possibly arriving late.

dvp82   10 #726 Posted May 24, 2014 Sorry , he will coming from Hyde Park Flats , usually goes Burngreave way  Looking at the route map getting from Hyde Park flats to the NGH on race day is going to be a PITA.  If driving off the top of my head he could do City Centre to Shepcote Lane, Tinsley Viaduct, Woolley Wood Bottom, Bellhouse Road to Firth Park, Hucklow Road then Barnsley Road to NGH.  Public transport. Train from Sheffield to Chapletown then bus 75 to NGH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The race does to straight down Burngreave Road. Be on the wrong side of Burngrave Road and people are in for a massive detour.

SportsTrophy   10 #730 Posted May 24, 2014 The road will be closed so if you are in a car then you will have no choice other than to go around. There will be lots of crossing points so on foot you will be able to access bus stops still or on a bike wont be a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Andy C   85 #731 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Supertram will be operating revised routes and timetables on the day, Sunday 6th July:  Yellow route* - Middlewood to Meadowhall - every 8 minutes Blue route* - Halfway to Meadowhall - every 16 minutes Purple route* - Herdings Park to Malin Bridge - every 30 minutes  Between Cathedral and Meadowhall the Yellow and Blue routes will combine to offer a high frequency service. If needed some additional Cathedral-Don Valley shuttles may also operate. * as some of the routes are different to normal they may yet be renamed  Supertram will directly serve the fan zones at Don Valley Bowl and Meadowhall. Bus links will operate from Middlewood tram terminus to Oughtibridge and from Malin Bridge tram terminus to Bradfield.  Park & Ride car parks are located at Middlewood, Malin Bridge, Nunnery Square and Halfway.  A special tram only day ticket will be available for TDF day priced at £3 for adults and £1.50 for children and commemorative tram tickets at these prices will be available to buy in advance. Additionally there is a family tram ticket available to buy online in advance (normal Stagecoach ticket stock though).  Supertram will be putting all the information on their website (http://www.supertram.com) once the full details are confirmed.  Northern Rail will be operating additional trains between Sheffield and Barnsley via Meadowhall calling all stations. Details will be available at http://www.northernrail.org.  Full public transport information including buses will be posted by SYPTE at http://www.travelsouthyorkshire.com again once all details confirmed.

Doom   10 #732 Posted May 28, 2014 They were saying on Radio Sheffield this morning how poorly Sheffield are promoting this.  According to the guy they were chatting with, he said this event is being heavily promoted in Leeds and right across the region where the Tour travels, apart from Sheffield where the publicity seems to tail off. Even Penistone has adverts all over the town and a Tour de France information desk.  Is Sheffield in danger of missing out financially due to lack of publicity?  Regards  Doom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
