This is the last posting of this particular series.
I have enjoyed producing and posting the blogs and I hope that they have kept you entertained at least for a short while.
None of us will be sorry to see the end of 2020.
So here’s to a better 2021 and STAY SAFE.
For part 1 see blog posted 24/12/2020, part 2 blog posted 25/12/2020, part 3 blog posted 26/12/2020, part 4 posted 27/12/2020, part 5 posted 28/12/2020, part 6 posted 29/12/2020, part 7 posted 30/12/2020, part 8 posted 31/12/2020.
On the 12th. of May 2013. ‘First South Yorkshire’ (FSY) organised a bus event to mark 100 years since the introduction of the motor bus in Sheffield.
It was held at ‘FSYs Olive Grove garage which is adjacent to the
‘Midland Main Line’ about half a mile to the South of Sheffield’s railway station.
A stones throw from the garage is the site of what was Queens Road tram depot where many of Sheffields trams were built and housed.
What is now the bus parking area at Olive Grove for many years was home to
‘Sheffield United Tours’ fleet of luxury coaches which eventually passed to ‘National Travel East’.
A part of Sheffield then that is steeped in the city’s transport history.
In support of ‘FSY’ sterling efforts in putting on the show, a good selection of preserved buses attended.
