Project Details
Park & Ride has been a long-term transport aspiration for Southampton as it has the potential to reduce car-based trips into the city centre and other busy places such as the Hospital. This is achieved by having a viable and affordable public transport route with a parking facility close to a major access route into the city. It is important that the route from the designated Park & Ride car park to the end destination will need to improve bus priority to make journey times attractive and reliable.
The site, located close to M271 Junction 1 at the new Adanac Health & Innovation Campus in the west of the city at Bargain Farm. We are working in partnership with University Hospital Southampton to develop and implement the Park & Ride which will benefit both staff at the Hospital, local residents, and people working and visiting the City Centre.
There are several bus services, that run through the area connecting to the Hospital, Shirley, City Centre and on to Woolston that will benefit from the proposals. The Hospital currently operates a Park & Ride shuttle service for staff from the site to the University Hospital Southampton.
At weekends the Park & Ride will take workers and shoppers into the city centre via M271. We are taking this approach to see how it can work in Southampton and is part of a plan to incrementally implement a Park & Ride scheme. The aim is to reduce the level of car-based travel to the city centre while supporting its growth.
The map below highlights the proposed routes for the Hospital Park & Ride service and city centre Park & Ride service.
In March this year, we undertook a survey about all four locations and we received a great response which has been used to shape each of the schemes.
