Guest Gramps Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 "In May 1933 the general manager reported that the track on the Nether Edge line, which had not had any extensive work for ten years, needed heavy renewals. He suggested that instead buses might be substituted for the trams. The track from Ecclesall Road junction to the Nether Edge terminus was just over a mile long, and the manager produced a report containing the usual figures showing the cost of track renewals and the ten cars allocated to the route which could be considered to need replacement. Against this was set the cost of ten buses and road reinstatement; it was decided to replace the tramway." Charles C. Hall, Sheffield Transport The bonus was that bus services could be extended up to the hospital during visiting times. http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=t00988 http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s16488 http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s16416 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
