St Petre Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 What was the bus route that came down Glossop Road via Division Street and the terminus was in Barkers Pool, turned around the Goodwin fountain and went back again (to where) ?

hillsbro Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hi St Petre - that sounds like the No 60 Fulwood bus. See here from the 1954 timetable. https://i.postimg.cc/7hZXMCMD/60.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voldy Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Yes, in 1951 that route shown in hillsbro's post started in Leopold Street (Church Street end) took left turn into West Street. On its return trip via Division Street, to avoid a reversing manoevre, completed the 'loop' by taking a left turn from Barkers Pool (at Wilson Peck ) into Leopold Street back to its terminus. This was prior to the construction of the Fountain which came some years later. Routing must have changed as the 60 later ran to the Midland Station but I don't know when that occurred.

In the 1960s there was a bus that ran down Charles Street perhaps en-route to the Midland station. Would that have been the No:60 re routed? If so, how did it get to Charles Street from Glossop Road?

Library Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 93 was Central Bus Station to Woodhouse in the 1970s and most of the 1980s. Prior to that it ran to Stradbroke. I think it was extended through the city to Firth Park as a replacement for route 4 in the late 1980s - perhaps when Meadowhall opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpy Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 An old friend and I were talking the other day about old bus routes, and ended up totally puzzled. I went to Nether Edge Grammar School 1953 to 1958. I used to travel to school on the Nether Edge bus along Washington Road. Coming home I caught the Circular at the end of Union Road, getting off on Queens Road at the junction of Bramall Lane/Havelock Bridge. I think it was number9. My friend used to catch it from Queens Road up to Union Road to go to School. Where it came from before Union Road and went to after Queens Road is a mystery to us. My question is, do any of you knowledgeable people out there know the routes of those circular buses, going both directions? Along shot I know, but I hope someone can help.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Might be the Inner Circular 8 and 9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
