Couldn't he use the bus? Or is it beneath him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets will be accepted on stagecoach and first buses instead. Although I’m pretty sure no buses run on Park Grange Road nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then there are buses, the 120 for example that run very close the route of the tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't lived in lower Walkley in over 23 years. The 120 does go through S3 on its way up West Street, Glossop Road and Fulwood Road. This would cover the Broomhall, University and Netherthorpe bits of S3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like somebody is looking for excuses. Before the time factor is introduced the 120 is as fast if not faster that the tram from Peaks to the city due to the long way round the tram takes.
