Convenient park-and-ride with direct Sheffield bus and tram links
Meadowhall Interchange Park and Ride is a Council-managed surface tarmac facility located on Barrow Road, serving commuters and shoppers bound for Sheffield city centre. The lot offers 550 marked bays, including 30 Blue Badge spaces near the entrance, four parent-and-child bays, and three motorcycle bays. Operating hours are 6 am11 pm daily, with a £3.00 park-and-ride ticket providing unlimited bus travel on the dedicated express service. LED floodlamps ensure the site is fully illuminated until closing, and CCTV cameras cover all aisles. Pedestrian access points lead directly to the bus boarding area (70 m) and Meadowhall tram stop (150 m). Two 22 kW EV fast chargers are available at £0.35 per kWh, billed via QR code. Seasonal event days, such as Christmas markets or Steel City marathons, reduce effective capacity by up to 20%; in those cases, signage diverts drivers to Meadowhall Red Car Park (1 km) with a supplementary shuttle. Maintenance crews repaint bay lines each spring, clear litter weekly, and conduct leaf-blowing sessions biannually.
