Serveral people I know have heard from the bus station and bus drivers, that if it carries on snowing at this rate, they may pull the busses from 12 noon. Early home time for me then!

Theres a bus 'parked' outside Meersbrook Garage, doesn't look like he's going to try and get round the hairpin onto carfield avenue and then up on the upper albert. The road is covered and hasn't been grigtted.

 

Sorry no idea on the number, I don't do buses and am still in my jammies so can't go out to look:D

Well heres what i know so far...

 

weve managed to get into town from shiregreen, was more or less fine compared to the first bout...

 

BUT!!!!

 

when ive got into work... someones said that they were on a bus into town and the driver said to all the kids (on the bus) to get off it because they wouldnt be able to bring them home at 3...cos they were gonna get called off very soon!!!!

 

weve then rung travel line... and theyve said if it carrys on then ALL buses will get pulled...

 

and ive also checked the weather satellite and its gonna get horrid... till about ealry afternoon...

 

so if your wondering if to travel anywhere on a bus... make sure you have a plan B if the buses get called off!!!!

thats the 10, i just got off one at Upperthorpe and he couldn't get down the hill from Crookes so radio'd through. Looks like they might stop.

[boyface 10]

I just got the 52 into town and the depot were on the radio to the rdiver saying not to pick up kids on that route as they would stop running at some point.

 

Ah joy, another long walk home. Via as many pubs as possible

Update; It was the 33 to Jordanthorpe.

 

He's reversed and headed back into town.

There are no TM 43s to Jordanthorpe either, obviously given the route!
