Free park-and-ride with shuttle service to Sheffield city centre
P+R Meadowhall Interchange is a large, Council-operated surface tarmac park-and-ride facility located on Barrow Road, adjacent to Meadowhall Shopping Centre. The lot provides 500 marked bays, including 25 Blue Badge spaces near the ticketing kiosk and two motorcycle bays. It operates from 6 am until 11 pm daily, offering free parking for those purchasing a £3.00 park-and-ride ticket, which includes unlimited shuttle bus travel to Sheffield city centre. LED floodlights ensure full illumination until closing time, and CCTV cameras monitor all driving lanes for security. Pedestrian exits lead directly to the shuttle bus boarding area (50 m), Meadowhall tram stop (150 m), and a covered walkway into the shopping centre (200 m). Bicycle racks for 40 cycles are available next to the ticket booth. During peak holiday shopping periods, capacity may be reached by 9 am; overflow signage directs drivers to Meadowhall Red Car Park (1.2 km) with a supplementary shuttle service. Maintenance teams repaint bay lines quarterly, perform monthly litter clearance, and inspect drainage biannually.
