View Full Version : Advice - which bus to northern general? geckoqueen 11-01-2006, 17:34 Morning all I have to be at the Huntsman building by 9.30 tomorrow, I am told to go to the Barnsley Rd entrance I would like some advice on the best bus to catch? and what time I'd need to be at the depot. Please. Appolo 11-01-2006, 17:51 service 47 & 48 from stop opposite markets run about every 10 minutes hope this helps:thumbsup: geckoqueen 11-01-2006, 17:52 I used to use those the other way, where abouts outside the market do they pick up? and where at the hospital drop? sjw1705 11-01-2006, 17:54 Don't thinkit goes down by the market anymore due to roadworks? Best bet is to get it at Flat St, where the ramp is up to the shops. They run every few minutes. BigPhil 11-01-2006, 17:55 75, 76 go from town centre, straight through the main roads of burngreave, pitsmoor, and firshill and the bus stops a few yards down from the northern general at the bottom of firshill and the next stop is on the main road of firvale.

Flat st, leads down to Pond St from Fitzallen Sq. Bigphil I don't know the area at all, where is firshill? Its not on the hospital map It's actually Fir Vale it's at the bottom end of the Hospital where Barnsley Rd, Herries Rd and Firth Park Rd meet. Do you need any more help? Are you new to Sheffield or just the Northern Gen? I could try and find a map to help you. wardy 11-01-2006, 19:09 what about catching either 20 or 97 they both stop on herries road ,then you only have to walk up herries drive. geckoqueen 11-01-2006, 19:13 Thank you all very much, I think I'll go with the 47/48, I've been dropped off by them on flat street, I just didn't know its name. One last question, how long does it take in rush hour? wardy 11-01-2006, 20:29 are you going to work there ? geckoqueen 11-01-2006, 20:32 No I've got an appointment at 9.30 dibsy 11-01-2006, 20:43 If it's really really bad then you're looking at about 1/2 an hour at the most. I only live 5 mins drive away...lucky eh! geckoqueen 11-01-2006, 20:45 OK, I'll get to the station for about 8 then, cheers dibsy 11-01-2006, 20:49 That'll give you plenty of time, bus stop is right near the driveway and it's a case of walking down the drive and go left nearly to the top. geckoqueen 11-01-2006, 20:50 OK, thank you Its all coming back to me, I have been round there before dibsy 11-01-2006, 20:52 No problem...only too pleased to help |
