Bus/Trams
Can Expression/anyone else who's in Sheff help?
I picked up a couple of timetables today, but not really knowing areas in Sheffield I got a little bit confused.
Can u give me the bus/tram number and fares for these journies please?
Main uni area to train station (and vice versa)
Main uni area to Meadow Hall (and vice versa)
And whereabouts in the main uni area is the bus/tram stops?
Thanks ! -
I don't get buses in Sheffield so Expression will have to enlighten you there, but the trams are rather ace!
To get to the train station get the blue route tram heading to Halfway, while to get to Meadowhall get the yellow route to, appropriately enough, Meadhowhall Interchange. To return get the same colour trams heading to Malin Bridge and Middlewood respectively.

It's less than a pound to the tram station, a bit more I think to Meadowhall. -
