Sheffield City Centre Now! what a mess
darylslinn replied to ab6262's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
The Barclays Bank at Hillsborough closed last December sadly.... now only two branches covering Sheffield and Rotherham. Sheffield City Centre has it's good and bad places like any other city... once all the building work is completed it should be fine from the Moorfoot up to Fargate. -
I can personally recommend Cakes Created By Julie.... Cakes Created By Julie Delicious cakes and very talented in creating practically anything.

Tinsley Yard Freight Movements
darylslinn replied to Runningman's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
It's a shame that the third leg of Woodburn Junction was lifted too, that would have allowed trains to head South on the old road avoiding Midland station. 66757 headed 4E53 - 0515 Felixstowe North to Tinsley Yard arriving 9 minutes early this morning at 1137 the light engine out to Doncaster left at 1235 as 0D53. The return service to Felixstowe North is scheduled for Monday morning 0515 An aggregate train is due in from Bardon Hill at 0639 All of the scheduled services are in the system already but may not run. -
Darnall In The 70s And 80s
darylslinn replied to Martin Brennan's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
My dad Mick Slinn used to frequent it a lot when he worked for CD Steel... I used to sit outside on the wooden bench or if i was lucky be allowed to stand in the little corridor. -
Sheff Council - Shalesmoor Road Layout
darylslinn replied to Blue Day's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I wish i was fortunate to only have to commute 2 days out of 5, however the factory where I and over 400 other people can't really take the machinery home with them. My 14 mile journey to work for 7am in the morning is not one that I could possibly cycle and neither would the mostly uphill journey back home. A lot of factories still operate along the A61 corridor so now businesses are back then I can't see how a cycling plan would help... especially the logistics of moving manufactured goods in and out of the city. -
A legend to me... I got into Cabaret Voltaire in the very early 80's thanks to Richard Tandy on Radio Hallam.... only saw them once at The Limit around that time and they were awesome. Followed their careers after CV split and still listen back to their old stuff now. Quite a few good write ups in the National papers too and how their sound influenced many many bands and shaped electronic music through their innovations. (Shame The Star haven't mentioned anything) It was even good to hear a snippet of Nag Nag Nag on Radio Sheffield news on Wednesday morning too. Mal was your typical awkward frontman with the Kirky being the genius mad professor with his aural attacks on your ears and mind. RIP Kirky.

Nothing in the system yet as it's over a week away.

Didn't see it on stage so nothing to compare with.... I thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved Richard E Grant's performance and also though the acceptance of Jamie by his family and friends was nicely done... except his dad of course...

Scc Approve New Hillsbourgh Event
darylslinn replied to bassett one's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Unless the trams aren't running after the event again ! The park will be closed longer than the days of the festival.... huge walls go up closing the park down in the week before and the week after. -
The scenes around London right now are ridiculous.... Liverpool Street station, Leicester Square and the streets surrounding Wembley. Kings Cross had to be evacuated this morning as a flare set off the fire alarms.... i'm sure we don't want to see this happening here.

Best Place For Croatian & Ukrainian Beer
darylslinn replied to DANT.'s topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Mitchells at Meadowhead normally have a good selection of beers. -
How is he going to entertain ?

Unless they want to put the ice down for the Steelers.... it could be a bit cold on the floor even with the wood down. The lack of touring acts not coming to the Arena is a worry for me...
-
Which is basically just another exit from the retail park taking you out on to a busy Aldwarke Lane towards Dalton under two low and narrow railway bridges.... doesn't help the Parkgate area in general and if the land the road crosses is also redeveloped into retail units then that in turn would bring more traffic in.
-
But when things get back to normal or as normal as can be expected will we be getting big name acts again ? Some huge very well known Worldwide acts have announced tours such as the Pussycat Dolls, Genesis, Elton John, Blondie, Snoop Dog, Diana Ross or even Sheffield's own Human League... but none are stopping of in Sheffield. Is the Arena past it's prime or are the promoters avoiding it for another reason ?

Last Hst 125 Soon And Other Rail Stuff.
darylslinn replied to Annie Bynnol's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
So.... the last EMR HST's have run... all we have left locally are the sets that Cross Country still have in service that regularly pass through Sheffield. Meanwhile on the ECML, they've been bringing the Class 91's out of warm storage to cope with the Hitachi crisis.
