On the 12th. of May 2013. ‘First South Yorkshire’ (FSY) organised a bus event to mark 100 years since the introduction of the motor bus in Sheffield.
It was held at ‘FSYs Olive Grove garage which is adjacent to the ‘Midland Main Line’ about half a mile to the South of Sheffield’s railway station.
A stones throw from the garage is the site of what was Queens Road tram depot where many of Sheffields trams were built and housed.
What is now the bus parking area at Olive Grove for many years was home to ‘Sheffield United Tours’ fleet of luxury coaches which eventually passed to ‘National Travel East’.
A part of Sheffield then that is steeped in the city’s transport history.
In support of ‘FSY’ sterling efforts in putting on the show, a good selection of preserved buses attended.
