I used to get the Number 80 bus from Burncross to Bridge Street in Sheffield each morning for three years from Sept '78. The former Home Secretary David Blunkett and his guide dog would get on at Grenoside. I remember at the end of my first journey; the driver loudly proclaimed "This is the terminus. That means, this is where you all get-off!" Your don't get bus rides like those here in the South. Kevin Taylor, Edenbridge, Kent.

You went on a bus ride from 1979 to 1981?

I knew Sheffield's buses were slow and unreliable but that really takes the biscuit.

I used to get on that bus every morning in 1981, I started my first job up Sheffield at the Manpower place down the Moor. I lived at the top of Springwood Lane, I would watch the the bus go by the I would bomb down Springwood and up the packhorse, because I hated the long trek the bus took around Chap'. and I would always beat the bus. Then they brought out that X8 express bus from highgreen.

Anyway, I rememeber Blunket getting on the bus at Grenoside one morning he sat next to me and his bloody dog laid across my leg. by the time time I got off my leg was alsleep and I hobbled to work.
