Is Sheffield station closed at night? I have a memory of a sign directing people to a side door for the TPE airport train in the middle of the night, yet I thought the footbridge was a right of way to Park Hill flats.
It closes after the last train departs, then from about midnight there's security and EMT staff directing folk out the main entrance, as the side entrance past M&S to the taxi rank is closed.
Has that changed recently ? When arriving after midnight I have always found the entrance to the taxi rank open. Sometimes the 'main' entrance to Sheaf Sq/St has been open, sometimes not.
Regarding the right of way question, my understanding is that it is not .... there are various reasons why EMT have been refused permission to install barriers but these are not relevant to this thread.
