Part 1 was published on the 20th. July 2016.
The last time I was in Sheffield, I concentrated on the transport activity at Meadowhall.
On this latest return to the City of My birth, I concentrated on the City Centre and the Interchange in Pond Street.
1 word of caution.
The Transport Interchange is private property and the authorities there, whilst they have no objection to photographers insist that they get a permit to take pictures and sign in and out on every visit.
If in doubt go to the city end of Platform 1 and enquire.
The most successful double deck body currently being built, the ADL Enviro 400 appears in a variety of liveries.

Sheffield’s current tramway network opened in 1994/5.
It was operated by South Yorkshire Supertram Limited. A wholly owned subsidiary company of South Yorkshire Transport Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE).
In December 1997, the company was sold to Stagecoach group for £1.15 million.
Stagecoach gained the concession to maintain and operate the Supertram trams until 2024.
