  1. Well they’re might not be a strike as the new offers out to ballot. Fundamentally strikes will equal loss in takings which’ll lead to less in the pot...strikes rarely achieve anything
  2. Spoken like a driver ? That’d depend on how many actually strike
  3. Pmsl. Basic maths means it’s not less take home pay ..it’s less hours. Funnily enough my mate who works there as a driver thinks it’s reasonable offer. Personally I’d sack the lot of them for breach of contract if they went on strike. The fact they actually think they deserve 6% in the first place is hysterical What’s betting they have a strike on a tramlines day when it’ll inconvenience more folk
  4. Thats his stock answer if you disagree with a post of his ‘you must work for them’ He accused me of working for stagecoach when i challenged his repeated moans about the tram ?
  5. Well at least on this occasion you cant blame supertram for not communicating it.... they’ve had it on their website , press releases and notices on tram stops for a while (I’m sure you’ll manage to take them to task for something) Is it really the council’s responsiblity to advise /write to residents to advise of road closures? I hope youve asked your councillor why theyve not been proactive
  6. Well as they have built/are building in excess of 1;000 houses between Oughtibridge & Stocksbridge with the developers of these homes contributing little to infrastructure and transport in general it’s bound to have a knock on effect on public transport
  7. That’s the nature of turn up and travel systems. It’s not possible to lengthen the trams as they wouldn’t fit on the platforms The yellow tram should stop st university and then fast non stop to Hillsboro Park (as it goes several stops further) and the blue could serve all intermediate stops. Ultimately if a tram arrives and it’s busy it’s an individuals choice to board it
  8. This is the official site for all the homeless and outreach services in Sheffield who are all working together and who know who is homeless etc http://www.helpushelp.uk/
  9. Oh dear.. people are always blaming someone else instead of taking responsibility for their own mistakes. What kind of person doesn't check timetables especially if they are heading for or catching last services??? You wouldn't go for a train without checking> It's shown in the timetables and on the timetables on tram stops that there isn't a service. Basically you made an incorrect assumption, and couldn't be bothered to check the timetables and found out the hard way You clearly have internet access so wouldn't have to 'check through multiple timetables' you could just Google and use journey planner.
  10. Such bigoted opinions from Planner1 and LeMaquis. Wonder if either of them are local to the development and will be affected by it. For the umpteenth time i'll state clearly i have no (that's no N-O) objection to the building of houses.(even though none of them are desperately needed social housing) I acknowledge any development will create pressure on public infrastructure you state 'but we have to have them as the population is growing' So once again why can't improvements be included in the plans and made prior to the building to benefit all? Oh yes of course that would eat into the huge profits that these developers are going to make Yes I know its money and according to Planner1 not much of a delay...well whats 'not much' to one person is a lot to another... This city gets more gridlocked and traffic tail backed by the day.. even our own council has admitted that the new retail development in the city centre needs to be accessible to the public. is it wrong to expect foresight rather than look back after with hindsight? Prevention is always better than a cure.
  11. Guess I'm a NIMBY too then ... despite stating in numerous posts on here that I have no objection whatsoever to the actual houses being built. What I do object to is the total lack of investment in any infrastructure improvements 200 odd cars a day? They are building over 300 houses so you can bet your last pound almost every house will have at least one car and others multiple. Along with the further proposed housing developments at Deepcar & Stocksbridge the traffic will continue to get worse. Surely prevention is better than cure What I do object to is being screwed over by private developers.. they aren't building new houses out of kindness, they aren't building much needed social housing but a development which they stand to make a great big fat wedge of cash out of and existing residents can just suffer the consequences as they line their pockets and to hell with them
  12. Planner1 what you seem to fail to comprehend or even respect that a lot of existing residents, myself included, don't give a damn out the 'statistics ' when it is them who are already experiencing congestion and traffic jams and know what the reality will be based on their current experiences And as for one of your earlier posts about working flexi time.. I DO work flexi time but still get caught up in traffic as I like to get to work by 8.30, this meaning I can have a work/life balance. I already leave 10 mins a day earlier than I did a year ago as traffic means the link bus I used to catch no longer connects with the tram it should. That for all your bluster,spin, statistics and BS is the reality of someone who is already living here prior to this being built.
  13. You're quite correct just because it doesn't say what I want doesn't mean it hasn't been done correctly. Neither does it mean it's right- what goverment/planners may perceive as insignificant disruption is actually different to those who have to endure it day by day. Funnily enough just had an e mail off my MP who agrees that the A6102 is unsustainable now and even in the longer term and just for clarity purpose I have no objection against house building on site just that the rest of us shouldn't have to suffer the fall out. ---------- Post added 12-09-2016 at 15:18 ---------- acceptable by who? not me! So when the link bus is either whizzing past full or caught in more traffic missing it's intended tram link and a further 10-15-20 mins are added onto my journey per day thats acceptable??
