RE-CONNECTING THE INTERCHANGE 
Location: Sheffield Interchange, Pond Street 

​

​

The intention of this proposal is to create a safe, frictionless journey between key areas of Sheffield City Centre, with the Sheffield Interchange at it’s heart. A green corridor prioritising pedestrians and cyclists, to encourage people out of their cars and on to public transport. This would reduce air pollution, and showcase Sheffield as a forward thinking, innovative city, with an eye on the future, the climate and its communities. 

 

There are 3 phases to the proposal, beginning with energising the A/B terminal, which many people already use as a route through the city. Then upgrading existing routes “gennels”, which link the Interchange to Sheffield Central and Arundel Gate. Finally, connecting the Interchange to regeneration projects in the city, such as Fitzalan Square, the Grey to Green scheme at Castlegate and future plans such as Harmony works and the Castlegate park. 

 

This phased approach to reconnecting the Interchange would allow the Interchange to, generate revenue from existing footfall, attract new customers and future proof the bus service in Sheffield. Ultimately, the expectation would be that increased passenger numbers would fund the electrification of the bus service and upgrading the rest of the Interchange.
