The old SYPT buses.

Does anyone remember the old SYPT buses.

When you could travel anywhere for a few pence.

My dad worked at Herries Road Garage. He died when I was 17 about 30 years ago, but when I visit family in Sheffield, I pass the old site which is now Hillfoot Steels, and feel all nostalgic.

I started as a driver in 1974 at Herries fondly known as "Hillsborough Bus Company" by us all because we were considered as outsiders to the rest of the company. I may have known your Dad as I was there till it shut down and moved to Olive Grove, what was your Dad's name?

I was a driver there from 1970 for 35 years. We had a great relationship with all our comrades there. I retired, don't miss working but miss all the lads.

I was at Hillsborough Bus Company around 85 to 87 in my second stint as I was at Townhead Street 63 to 67 so it is possible that I know you two I was mostly crew driver and left just after I had to go one manning
