SteveHB Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 ADMIN it's strange you should comment about the doors being open, i remember traveling from Kiveton to Sheffield on a Northern bus with the doors open all the way. Reason being the exhaust had ruptured and the bus was full of diesel fumes, the driver said we the passengers had had an option put up with it or he would stop the bus and we wold have to wait an hour or two for another one. What a Micky Mouse company that was. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Tiny picture, but this may remind you... I remember that it was pink in colour if i am right and it did swirl round with lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgmetcalf Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 This picture is dated 1977. I took a similar picture at a more modern time. I thought it would be interesting to see how much the place has changed. Please ignore the date, that is the camera default settings. The photo was taken at the same time Dyson House was being Dismantled, maybe 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sheffield Steve Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Can you remember the old Pond Street cafe on the bus station? I had some good laughs in there in my youth - so dark and seedy and the baked beans where extremely coagulated - the old girl behind the counter always had a *** in her mouth, coughing ash into the food, . I wonder what the Health & Safety brigade would have made of that these days? Great memories, happy memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest transit Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi Here are a few photo's of buses in Pond Street, Dates and information about the buses are unknown, sure somebody can provide info. Hi Stuart - great pics- pic 1 ,shows bus entering the station as they all did via Harmer Lane BEFORE any sign of the building work of the forthcoming Sheaf Valley Baths to the left -which was opaened in 1972 -so i presume around 1970.PIC 2 - L REG bus which was registered AUG 73 - and does"nt look new 1 so i"ll guess around 75. pIC 3 /4 are buses which were new around 59/60 but worked approx 12/15 years before withdrawal so again the pics would probably be early /mid 70"s. The bus behind the one in pic 2 was the one for route 71 which served the whole of the NEW Norfolfk Park estate ,right up to Manor Top and down Prince ect, which was the first bus in front of the "carousel kiosk"(newsagents) and directly opposite the petrol station under Cinecentre!

Guest Uppsy_Daisy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi, I don't know if you have already had a thread of pond st, but I came across a very old photo, you might have seen it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hjdary Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'll have a stab at the buses.. No1 is a Leyland PD2..I think not too sure about thie one. No2 looking at the wheels and the bustle at the back I sure that a Damiler Fleetline No3 AEC and Im sure thats a Bridge Master...built to a very low height to get under....you've guessed it...but they were quite unusual and very ugly! No4 the best of the lot is a Leyland Atlatean PDR1. Its sad that I know this so I'll not tell anyone if you wont!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
