Suppose we awoke in the morning to the Sheffield of, say, 1980; I don't mean demographically, socially and politically, I mean the physical infrastructure, the roads the buildings, the shops etc. Like something out of the Twilight Zone. Would it be a good thing or a bad thing?

Except there would also be at least twice as many cars trying to get around those roads, which would change how much bliss they were.

Less time to get from A to B means fewer cars on the roads.

The OP is talking about the 1980s, not the 1880s.

 

Or maybe you had a very tough childhood. . .

Was Sheffield's cheap bus fare policy still in action in the 1980's?

 

I remember there being much less traffic on the roads of Sheffield because of it. The voume of traffic went up considerably when it ended.
