Karen 1967 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Does anyone remember the old SYPT buses. When you could travel anywhere for a few pence. My dad worked at Herries Road Garage. He died when I was 17 about 30 years ago, but when I visit family in Sheffield, I pass the old site which is now Hillfoot Steels, and feel all nostalgic.

10sheds Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I started as a driver in 1974 at Herries fondly known as "Hillsborough Bus Company" by us all because we were considered as outsiders to the rest of the company. I may have known your Dad as I was there till it shut down and moved to Olive Grove, what was your Dad's name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymond1947 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I was a driver there from 1970 for 35 years. We had a great relationship with all our comrades there. I retired, don't miss working but miss all the lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
