The bus is at the Tinsley Premises of South Yorkshire Transport Trust. Another South Yorkshire bus disappears into obscurity. It is great news that an artic has escaped the cutters but will we ever see it again? |

Indeed it is good to see it come home. I wish the boys from Tinsley well in their efforts to get things going there. Most of the stuff I can relate to locally is in there, so come on guys.

What is the state of the bus like? Will it need gutting and effectively be rebulit? Or is it in reasonable condition?
