Accident on Park Grange Road - Supertram unable to operate between Sheffield Station and Gleadless Town End - Update to follow with more info.

 

Please be aware that generally services are running delayed due to the sheer volume of traffic on the roads. However, unless stated below services are running their normal routes.

First 57/58s are running along bottom road and are not going on to the estates. The same is the case for the Stagecoach Supertram Link and TM Travel 201 service.

I have just had a fantastic slippery walk through a winter wonderland ( corny l know, but it was beautiful). of course l fell over but it was a soft landing! then l borrowed a sledge from some kids tobogganing in the field and it felt sooooooooo amazing flying down the field, snow blowing into my face, l felt 10 yrs old again.

Yes the weather can be a pain and for all of you having to travel home, please take care ....... but for me, today has been huge fun!

 

Cool! :cool:

 

I got snowballed by my little 'un - his laughter was worth all the sogginess. :thumbsup:

Why you are not going to be cut off from civilization!! I saw a guy in Morrisons at lunch today and he had about 8 loaves of bread and about 6 litres of milk, crazy!!

 

 

The stocked up i meant was with the essentials: you know hot chocolate, sweets and nibbles for when I'm sat like a saddo looking at the pretty snow from my warm bedroom!

Motorways seem to now be getting worse due to the Snow and Ice as can be seen on the traffic cameras here - http://www.traffic.sy-transport.co.uk/motorway_jam_cams.htm

 

Sheffield seems to be doing slightly better, though traffic looks appaling at the moment as can be seen here - http://www.traffic.sy-transport.co.uk/sheffield_jam_cams.htm

 

Stay safe people!

 

According to the latest reports by the BBC we are now getting all the snow from the South and it is expected to keep on snowing for the next 24 hours at least!
