sTaGeWaLkEr Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 It's pointless trying to grit the roads when it's actually snowing. It doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbow sky Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I like snow and not moaning, my hubby works on the train and is in Cleethorpes now, due to get back to sheffield at 8pm, he then needs to pray the bus / tram is running as he doesnt drive, neither do i My hubby has just gone to bus station and was told they have stopped buses for the next 2 hours, so he is now walking.

Greytgirl Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi, Greyboy is currently stuck on Olive Grove something or other, it's taken him over an hour to get there from Hillsborough. He's pulled off into a side street for a while to try and let the traffic ease up rather than just burning diesel and not going anywhere. As he has to get to Gleadless I'm not holding out any hope of seeing him much before 8pm! East Bank road is totally snarled up, not helped by someone thinking their journey was more important than others and is now stuck in the middle of the road. Well done council for keeping everyone moving!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanB Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 This is brilliant 'First Services within Sheffield are being temporaily withdrawn when they reach the City to allow the Council the Grit the roads. They will restart the service later this evening - more details when available'. Just got it off the website. What have the gritters been doing all day??? Where did you see this? Someone else has just mentioned it to me but i can't find it anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
