uttoxram75 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 A relative has to attend the QMC on Monday, the letter says allow 45 minutes for parking. Any tips or advice on where to park, is there any alternative parking nearby within walking distance for an elderly patient? Any help appreciated!

Rev Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Free park and rides are located on Queens drive, near the Clifton flyover, or Wilkinson Street in Basford. Both run buses every 10 minutes straight to the main entrance, otherwise on site parking is £4 and involves a 10 minute walk, buses take around 10 mins in good traffic. You can park just as near for free, but parking restrictions apply for an hour over lunchtime, either between 12-1 or 1-2, can't remember which.

Thanks rev, its not the cost of parking so much, just the convenience of finding a suitable parking place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parking is horrendous at the QMC, ever since the multi storey fell down, they do have some blue badge spaces in the actual grounds, but without a badge the only car park a good 10 min walk from the main entrance. You could also park at the Toton tram stop, just off the A52 at Bardills island, and catch a tram. To be honest, I'd use the Park and Ride if possible.

r4derby Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 As reveldevil says, parking on site can be a nightmare. Depending on the time of your appointment / arrival, there could be parking space in car park C, which is the far side of the site from main entrance (south side) this is by far the biggest car park but also the furthest walk, and still full in peak times, although in my experience I've had the most luck in this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
