Birley Moor Drive, the old terminus at Birley for the Sheffield Transport 6?, SYT/Mainline/Terrier 63, Sheffield Omnibus 94?, First 96 and 95. The 25A, 46 and 259 used to just pass through.

When South Riding first started the 46, it ran to Seagrave Crescent, turned right at Lister Avenue, left at Jaunty Avenue, left at Jaunty Lane and left back onto Seagrave Crescent.

When first extended the 95 first to Base Green then Birley, at Base Green the bus termined on Basegreen Drive. It went from Jaunty Lane, left at Jaunty Avenue, right at Jaunty Road and right onto Basegreen Drive. It then went on Lister Avenue, onto Jaunty Avenue, back onto Jaunty Lane.

Delves Road at Hackenthorpe-the terminus for the 41 when it only went to Hackenthorpe-i think the 41 and 120 just pass through.

The 51 used to terminated on Leighton Road at the top years ago, before being changed to go to Charnock (Start of Silver Service?). It went from Gleadless Town-End via Norton Avenue.

Sheffield omnibus service 20 stannington which had its termius on the acorn estate.
31 school runs to myers grove wood lane morning and afternoon journeys with sum journeys finishing at upperthorpe.

663 Basegreen School bus, when I used to get it termiated outside the school on Jaunty Avenue-25 years ago plus.
the 730 and 769? used to start/termiate at Intake terminus as well, with a couple of 730's going onto Hackenthorpe?-25 years ago plus.
The M40/M41 used to terminate on Alport Road, Frecheville, around 25 years ago-old Little Nipper Routes from Crystal Peaks.
Aston Express and Mainline M52 used to terminate on Fleury Road, Gleadless Valley.

Until recently there as Wyming Brook for the odd 51 extensions, obviously in a few weeks time Rivelin Post office will be a former terminal point (64 to be withdrawn).

Another more rural one was Langsett for the 303 Taxibus (Langsett - Ewden - Hillsborough) until about 2004/5? I'm not sure how the bus turned, if it actually stopped at the bus stops in both directions it would have to run to Flouch to turnround, the alternative was just before the stops turning left onto a lane down by the dam wall to Upper Midhope, I'd have thought they'd be suffice room for an Alero (usual type) to turn.

And before it ran to Leighton Road the 51 terminated at Gleadless Townend, by the Red Lion.

The 63 was the 83 in Sheffield Transport days until the early 1970s.

It was the 26 which terminated on Abbey Lane.

Short workings of the 60 to Broomhill (used to be very regular, although not shown in timetables for many years) terminated on Peel Street.

You beat me to it, I was just about to post this. The timetable I have shows these trips as "addition journeys in small print below the main timetable.

Is it know if this used the loop to turn round (Peel Street, Nile Street, Fulwood Road) or whether it turned in the junction of Peel Street?

The only time I saw the 51 at Wyming Brook it did a tricky reverse manouevre into Soughley Lane to turn around, was this the usual terminus? Took quite a few minutes to turn around a B10M that way!

Regarding Langsett, could it have turned around in the reservoir car park?

[wbc]

I believe re Wyming Brook that the reverse into Soughley Lane was the usual turn around point, I cant think of anywhere else up there where a bus could turn round. I suspect the old 851 weekend service would have done the same.

On the subject of these stranger terminus's I presume a similar manouevre must have been done at Dungworth (reverse into the lane to Ughill and then head back to city - road much wider than Wyming Brook though), the alternative would be a lot more tricker! (down to Damflask then right onto New Rd but would need a bit of manouevring, up from Damflask for the am run I doubt could be done without much difficulty).

Owler Bar is another that could be added on the list, from when the 2 x 97 am runs went up there.

Lets not forget the 24 before the 97 was rerouted to Totley in the 90's. Is the 24 the oldest number to Totley and Owler Bar or is there an even earlier route number?

The 24 started running through to Totley in the late 1960s or early 1970s (I shall have to find the timetables to confirm, unless someone else can supply the exact date). Prior to that, the Totley bus ran from the Central Bus Station and was route number 45, a number which was first assigned to the Totley bus when route numbers were introduced in the late 1920s!

Speaking of the 24 reminds me of Millhouses terminus, with the old tram turning circle near the Waggon and Horses.

When I used the 60 to and from Broomhill regularly (in the early 1980s), the short workings turned right from Glossop Road into Peel Street where they waited for departure time, and returned to the city centre via Nile Street and Newbould Lane. Fulwood Road was not traversed. Whether that was always the case I do not know.
