  1. what does http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=boston+road+sheffield&hl=en&ll=53.371952,-1.477962&spn=0.00226,0.004823&t=h&z=18&vpsrc=6&layer=c&cbll=53.371979,-1.47814&panoid=EPo9pFbBlkLlkHnSVvC3-g&cbp=12,65.19,,0,19.82 look like when it is "on"? Is the bus gate for that whole stretch on Boston Street or just to stop turning left on to London Road?
  2. If Stagecoach were that bothered about fare dodgers they'd check tickets on trains with a little more zeal.
  3. It used but in its current form only takes in fifty to a hundred odd paying customers per show
  4. SYPTE don't do much these days other than putting vanity bus stops here and there. They don't provide maps with bus routes anymore (they were brilliant) and after splitting the stops on Wicker one may wonder if they even think.
  5. The multi-coloured building opposite the IC is pretty ugly with the sixties coloured cladding but the kettles can by all means have the title. The Nelson Mandela Building was also a superior union.
  6. There are a couple of cafés on Union Street/Lane behind The Nelson
  7. Yes... Take the tram from Sheffield to erm, Drakehouse, well Crystal Peaks.
  8. Why queue in the right lane when the left is empty? I filter and use whichever lane is the quietest. If those who queue in the right lane ultimately went to be on the left lane on the Parkway they should stick the the left lane, why switch lanes on the roundabout? Similarly on the Northbound slip road, both lanes can be used to enter the Parkway as it should/is on the Southbound one. There's hardly any traffic going off the motorway into Rovrum, most of it is bound for Sheffield. Filter and spread out: initiative
  9. Some places in Cornwall and Scotland manage to keep 60mph limits through towns with no safety barriers and no one wearing high-vis jackets. The absence of jackets was the really shocking part!
  10. I let buses out if they indicate and wait and no one's let them out before me. If they just go I will stand my ground and stay in my lane. Courtesy is all, I'll let anyone out if they don't force their way through, even cyclists and bikers who aren't in "any" lane if they're courteous.
  11. One's just opened on Meersbrook Bank, where Hair Mania used to be.
  12. Don't you mean http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=yinsley+marshalling+yard&hl=en&ll=53.397392,-1.380136&spn=0.009685,0.01929&t=h&z=16 where the satellite imagery isn't 12 years old?
  13. Walsh's department store's building was bombed and severely burnt during the Blitz. A new building was built and Walsh's reopened. It became Rackhams then House of Frasier then TJ Hughes, all of which at one point were owned by House of Frasier. EDIT: I see 0114owl1867 was quicker
  14. Perhaps not but you'd know how to google or trip advisor for your research. You'll be asking the forum where you've put your bin bags next
  15. What's IT done to you? You still on dial-up?
  16. Mirror Mad, custom made mirrors. Abbeydale Road. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=809&q=mirrors+sheffield&aq=f&aqi=g1g-v1g-j1g-m1&aql=&oq=
  17. Belfast is in the UK, I don't know why you're asking for this particular city. DHL, TNT and usual business couriers will deliver at their usual prices. Google. For couriers based in Sheffield, surprisingly: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=862&q=courier+sheffield&aq=f&aqi=g1g-v4g-m2g-b3&aql=&oq=
  18. 47 and 48 are run by First, the 79 by Stagecoach. What's your point? Neither operator cares about the other.
  19. See what I did there? Hihihi I said trimmed bushes
  20. "The NUM building is one of Sheffield’s most prominent buildings" No it isn't lol! Great to hear something is being done of the building though, good luck to the operators
  21. Beauchief Gardens has had a lot, lot less care to it since they removed the lovely wooden sign and replaced by the generic metallic green one. The borders were always trimmed, weeds out in the rockeries but there now are leaves everywhere, un-trimmed bushes and murky water in the brook. Darn shame. Shame about the garden centre too...
