Hi Folks. I'm off oop north at the weekend and would like to take my
Birdy with me to facilitate local travel. How secure is the bike
parking at the Station?

Don't live there, but don't recollect seeing any specific cycle parking at
the rail station.

Surely one point of a Birdy is that it can be folded up and taken
wherever one wants to go.

Why not try their Left Luggage facility. I'm not sure, however, of
it's opening times. Check out the Midland Mainline website and type
"Left Luggage" and it may give a contact number.

There are no lockers at Sheffield, shamefully, but the Sheffield stands
(yes we invented them) or platforms 1 & 5/6 are reasonable secure -
staff are always around and the station is locked up at night apart from
when the Manchester Airport trains depart. Don't leave lights etc on
your bike though.

There are some lockers in the Rockingham Way multi-story car park not
too far away - see http://tinyurl.com/2y4exd

I presume there is CCTV.

The left luggage closes at 16.30, I wonder if I could make it back
from Hillsborough in time after the game - 13.30 KO btw.

If you walk up Howard Street (walk up the steps in the fancy square they've
put in front of the station, and up the road that's got the Howard pub at
the bottom and is paved with slippy blue flagstones), you'; find yourself in
front of Sheffield Hallam University. There are loads of stands there, some
are under cover (by the doors to the uni) and there's generally a security
guard or a "city centre ambassador" knocking around.
