City Hall tram stop
The City Hall tram stop is located behind Sheffield City Hall and has two stops, one for each direction. They aren’t directly opposite each other but you are able to see them from each stop. So, if you found the stop but it was in the wrong direction you would be able to see the other stop on the opposite side of the road.
It was fairly quiet when I was there as it seemed like it was slightly further away from some of the more central tram stops, such as Cathedral and Castle Square.
The stops are on elevated parts of the pavement, which means the pavement is level with the trams once they arrive. There was a small sheltered area that had information boards and some small benches to sit on. The edges of the stop had painted yellow lines and were also marked with tactile paving. There was additional tactile paving which went in the opposite direction to that marking the edge of the stop. These aligned with the most accessible doorways of the tram when it pulled in.
There was a digital board which told you which trams were expected along with approximate wait and arrival times for each one. There was a clear sign with the tram stop name on each end of the raised area and these had bins beneath them too.
Once the tram arrived, there was a small gap and lip to board but I found this still manageable with my wheelchair’s castor wheels and didn’t have any problems.
