Parking near QUB

    I am also starting in Queen's this year and am wondering is there anywhere near the college to park (I too am baring a southern reg) but that's not really my issue...

    I've been asking a few members of staff and they say they get it hard to get permits; for students it's virtually impossible! Apparently there's no parking around.

    Can anyone help? I'm commuting from the South for now as my study is research based and I can get away with it for the time being. I'm based in the SARC building.

    There are Park and Ride facilities at Bridge End (east side), York Street (north side), Blacks Road and Sprucefield.

    Commuters park their vehicles in a designated car park and take a non stop bus into Belfast city centre. Park and Ride passengers pay for either their car parking or bus journey. Bus services into Belfast run every twenty minutes from 7.30am until 10am and then hourly for the rest of a weekday.

    There are Park and Ride facilities at Templepatrick, near M2 motorway, which also services weekday commuters into Belfast.

    Thanks for that... yeah think my supervisor mentioned that service to me alright, uhh and I thought I'd be cutting out the whole bussing saga by putting a car on the road! Wishful thinking!

    For anyone reading this who wants to take a car up to qub, i drive every day and find parking which is free on the side streets. word of warning, dont park on malone road or stranmilis road before 9.30 or after 4.30 because its a clearway and you'll get a ticket...happened to me last week. the signage is really not great around the area.

    I used to park on University Square but you had to be in at 7.45 am at the latest to still nab a spot. They start to free up again about 4 pm. You could park further out Malone way and catch a bus (No. 8) up and down if you're not going to be in by 7.45 am. I used to eat my breakfast in my car so don't recommend it lol

    That sounds like a viable idea parking further down Malone Road and getting the bus up.....a friend of mine lives in Annadale Green along the enbankment and I think he's going to give me parking permission - I suppose it's only about 15/20 min walk isn't it? Might be the best option!

    Yeah about that, if you go over the bridge and up the hill you're on Stranmillis Road and then it's a pleasant jaunt downhill to QUB. :D
