Resident Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 3 minutes ago, Grumpycatweasel said: Today, amidst the brisk air of Sheffield, I found myself navigating the familiar routine of catching the 48 bus to embark on my daily journey. With a sense of urgency, I hastened my pace down the lively streets, eager to reach the bus stop before the scheduled departure. However, despite my diligent efforts to beat the clock, fate seemed to conspire against me. As I approached the stop, my heart sank with dismay upon witnessing the all-too-familiar sight of the bus departing, its engine humming as it disappeared around the corner. A wave of frustration washed over me, accompanied by a twinge of regret for not having left a minute earlier. In that fleeting moment, time stood still as I grappled with the realization of missing the bus, knowing that it would inevitably set me back on my journey. Yet, amidst the disappointment, there was a silver lining to be found amidst the chaos of urban life. With a deep breath, I took solace in the bustling energy of Sheffield, the vibrant tapestry of humanity that surrounded me serving as a reminder that life's greatest adventures often unfold in the unexpected moments. Though I missed the 48 bus today, I found solace in the rhythm of the city, embracing the serendipitous detour that awaited me, knowing that every missed connection is merely a stepping stone on the journey of life. There is no service in South Yorkshire numbered 48. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww dont pick on him/ her, he / She is clearly part of the new Sheffield promotion regime and thinks that spinning stories and putting an emphasis on the " bustling / Vibrant City centre" will magically fix everything. Highlighting his / her posts the way a child would makes them even more important of noteworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Swaine Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 As said, bustimes.org is the best resource for timetables. Stagecoach wouldn't be privy to latest timetable information at First and vice versa. Two separate offices and two separate businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
