hi all. Got an appointment At glenfield soon.

just wondering is it easy to get to from the city centre as I will be taking the train into Leicester city centre. Thx all

if you are planning to get to Glenfield hospital by bus from city center, you can catch a bus called the Hospital hopper, the bus does a circular route that visits all three main hostpitals, including Glenfield. There numerous stops in city . If you take a taxi , from the train station would be at least £10 one way.

Thx is parking easy at the hospital. I could drive

Parking is easy at Glenfield. I had my ablation there in March, one of the best heart specialist hospitals in the Country

[ninks01]

P,S......the bus is labeled HH , there is a stop close to London road train station and it runs about every 30 minns .

Yes - and it's a lovely hospital. The bus station at Leicester is excellent in every way. The hospital is a long way from the centre. Cardiac care there is top notch.

Cheers Steve. Or I can drive ? Is parking at the hospital easy enough?

[Ppiman in reply to Lenlec]

Yes, indeed - but not free. It's very easy to find. The car park is large and always pretty full but I have always found a space. Give yourself plenty of time. If it were to be full, there's Glenfield village right next door with parking and a quick cheap taxi to the hospital!

I've just looked it up. Prebend Street where the bus goes from is 100 yards from the station. You need to catch the Hospital Hopper showing going to the Beaumont Centre. The journey takes 25 minutes. You can check on Google maps for Prebend Street.

[Lenlec in reply to Thomas45]

Thx

[Thomas45 in reply to Lenlec]

Prebend Street is the name of a bus stop on London Road. London Road if the main road which crosses over the railway. It's before the junction with Prebend Street.

either way is easy, they would tell you at train station where to get the bus, there’s 2 car parks at glenfield the main car park is big, the busiest time is mid to late afternoon but i have never not found a space .

[Lenlec in reply to Dudtbin]

Cheers 9.30 am my appointment

Hi. It's straightforward to drive to from Coventry (a friend of mine used to live down the road) but, the traffic getting off the M69 at the M1 junction and the M1 itself at that time in the morning is horrific.

[Lenlec in reply to Ducky2003]

Yeah that’s why I’m thinking train is the easier option

[Ducky2003 in reply to Lenlec]

I would say that's the sensible option.😊
