BTW - the reason they couldn't return via the incoming route of Furniss Ave is because the road is not wide enough to sfely turn a 36ft. bus. Ah fair enough, I thought the terminus might have allowed for the turn to take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Swaine Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) This mayoral authority is a joke. You can only be a mayor of a town or city, not a whole county. 😫 Buses in Totley aren't best served and the train station can be a considerable walk for an hourly train service. The 218 stops running at the end of the afternoon, leaving just the 97/98. It's never been a good service on that route in terms of punctuality and frequency (Abbeydale Road being a traffic nightmare does not help), but at the northern end of the route, there are the number 8, number 1a and 81/82 which provide the main service to those areas, so it's more of a supplementary service. It's relied upon dearly at the South Western end. Edited August 16, 2023 by Irene Swaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
