Brian Hall ( Casper ) Fitter Leadmill road 1977 -1992

Good old days when Metrobuses ruled the roost

That is a Mark 2F.

2:14 reminds me of the red sticker TWM use to put on the window next to the doors on Metrobuses

It’s the 2 car class 142091 is previously allocated to NT - Northern. The train 🚆 🚊 🚂 is wearing the NT - Northern livery. Now it’s off lease and is unsure 🫤 what’s happened to the train 🚆. 👍

This is the 2 car class 142 is wearing the RR - Regional Railways 🚃 🚆 livery. 👍

Still use those hoppers today from back then, the exact same ones

God, I miss these at Sheffield. These ran alongside B9TLs and were ultimately replaced by Streetdecks, hateful things they are. These B7s were (relatively) quiet, smooth and comfortable.

Those buses Have Gone Now

The 98 to Greengate Lane was my bus home after playing Snooker at Faulkners Snooker Club on Cambridge St. I would have been 13-14 in 85-86. Such fond memories seeing that 98 bus. Special. Thank you for the film. I shall cherish it.

16:29 and other times in the video but old Charles Hagenbach bakery, many a gorgeous, tasty Sausage Roll enjoyed from them! Mmmmm! 👍

Used to be great when some of the double deckers had speakers in upstairs and you'd hear Radio Hallam on, sometimes heard the great Johnny Moran Breakfast Show on the way to Town! 👍👍

Those Dennis Dominators were a terrifying experience to be a passenger on, especially as they were getting older & older and still used into the Mainline era, the back seat on the back downstairs seemed to move with the chassis and when speed humps were added to Sheffield's roads and their suspension was getting worse, I held on for dear life sitting upstairs!! But the Eager Beaver's I did think they were fine, until you hit a bump in the road and you lept up 2 foot from the seats! 🥴

9:57 That's a better look for the busses!! 👍

Good ol'days when a bus said on the timetable was scheduled to turn up, it damn well turned up! Back in the day when you could set your watch to em' and when the services used to be there for the public/passenger and not what makes more money for the shareholders!! Come on Mayor, do like Burnham & get em' back under public control!! 👍

What a fantastic film. Takes me back to the days of South Yorkshire Transport in Sheffield which often received the accolade as the best public transport system in the country. It was brilliant. You could get anywhere in South Yorkshire and get a train to Doncaster from Sheffield for 25p. I always remember complaints about the Booth and Fisher Service which ran from the City Centre out to Killamarsh via Jordanthorpe and Eckington and having to pay 40p because you were going out of the South Yorkshire boundary into North East Derbyshire. I have fond memories of the Angel inn at Eckington and catching the last bus back to Jordanthorpe about 22:30. I used to go to a CB club there every Wednesday. Those were the days guys.

I can't hear a single word on the video at all 😮

The projector sound is fun and nostalgic.

Showing a lot of detail, thanks.

Taught me English for three years at Keighley Boys Grammar, as well as starting the Railway Club. I did feel the sole of his plimsoll on my arse a couple of times though. Lovely man though.

Very nostalgic video for me. My dad worked for SYT up until 1992 when he died. He worked in the cash department ( I think he was a cash clerk ) in Rotherham not in the town centre it was more towards Thorpe Hesley. Would be nice to hear from anybody that knew him.

It’s not 9537 it’s 9351

Taught me at Keighley Boys Grammar for three years (1958-61) Ran a School Railway Society. Lovely man (even though he whacked me with a plimsoll a couple of times !)

2 Clifton 48 Clifton 37 Clifton 71 Clifton. 1 Loughborough/East Leake via Clifton. Clifton had a lot of buses serving it back in 2000

Remember 2p bus fares?

Nice bus I enjoy the maltby route on these

Love me leyland buses bruton

158804 honestly went to the operator called South West Trains in 2006-07 renumbered 159103 now wearing the South West Trains livery renamed South Western Railway since dated August 2017. All the original TransPennine Express livery have extinct. There is a second TransPennine livery livery. Other 158s went to East Midlands Trains now East Midlands Railway and other operator is First Great Western now Great Western Railway. Good trustworthy trains. Updated in the year 2022 first class accommodation honestly happens to be ScotRail and South Western Railway.

Even though I love vintage trams I really enjoyed this video

Great company to work for, didn't realise it at the time but made a lot of friends for life.

Amazing video, thankyou for sharing it!!

Anyone remember the jingle on Hallam FM "The moor the merrier"? And if you're from Sheffield then you'll get the "moor" instead of "more" reference.

Thanks for this!!!

My father-in-law would have loved this video, he worked at the Leadmill garage as night foreman.

Beautiful tickover

I helped Tony with his second bus project in the early 1980's when I was a pupil at Chesterfield School, where he was Head of English. We had a great laugh there at The Isle of Axholme shed. He used to take us down to the local chippy... It was a local legend and might even have been an original Harry Ramsden's or something like that. Anyhow, I remember riding on the running board of his buses on our way to rallies, where people would make recordings of the engine. Bless him, he was a good lad!

Fabulous film, brings back loads of memories not only of the busses, but also of the cars and, of course, of Sheffield years ago.

I think if Boris Johnson had been in Sheffield in the 1980s the only bendy buses in UK service now would be in airports...

My fave bus.

Old but gold

57 bus :) used to catch that regularly. The market Square was so much better then than the slab Square it is now. Most of these 2 way bus routes have gone now :(

Worked for Northern Counties for 27yrs until it’s closure in 2005 by Alexander’s, it was a very, very sad day, the company would have been 100yrs old in 2019

Fabulous film and brings back so many childhood memories! Just one clarification, if I may? Someone mentions the Clipper was a free service and then was raised to 2p; however I recall it being the other way around. If I remember correctly it was due to the bendi's somehow not being recognised as a chargeable service (I think to do with their articulated construction and some legal loophole at the time) and therefore the operator couldn't legally charge for the service. It was therefore decided that the 2p charge should be dropped for the route, even if some of the buses used were not articulated. I do remember the glass jar on the Nationals for dropping the 2p in, then these disappeared and you just hopped on and off. I wonder if any of the glass jars survived?

When was this?? Have no recollection of AEC Routemasters!

I can almost taste the smell... Like a a piss filled ash-tray.

Wow that brought back a lot of memories for me, went to that garage many times as a kid with my Dad when he worked as a bus driver for Yorkshire Traction in Doncaster...

So many bus variations, trying to keep up with all the specific details unique to each one takes some getting ones head round. The good, the better, the not so good and the atrocious examples, all have their place in history. I used to use south yorkshire buses as a kid, fares were relatively cheap then, which was just as well they were. Preserving some em in full running order is pure nostalgia. Public transport, something most of us remember so well. Thanks for showing some great clips.🙂👍

The doors were open when it was moving

Brilliant piece of historical film for bus enthusiasts A+
