Просмотров 81 тыс.8 лет назад
Sheffield Transport Department .. Footage of Electric Tram from Meadowhead to Sheffield lane top..
I’m only 41 but I love the old fashioned trams. In my company we have to drive buses for 5 years before we can operate trams. Just waiting my turn.
9:38 and 19:16 Scammell Scarab
Sheffield. The city that the idiot council destroyed after the Germans failed. Only now, we realise how good the trams were.. Medals for stupidity should be handed out.
I'm feeling all teary here. I was 8, almost 9-years-old when this was filmed. All those shops, businesses and buildings gone. Noticably not a fatty in sight
Great video, amazing footage,im glad Sheffield got there tram system back, shame more cities aren't doing the same
I wonder if Leeds will ever get that promised tram system or will the funding be pulled...?
Great video, incredible footage, such a shame they were scrapped,i suppose its was progress at the time, local authority had the great idea of running down and no maintenance and scrapping a clean and efficient system for smokey, dirty, polluting buses, unreal 😔
I remember getting on a tram at Middlewood and taking it all the way to Millhouses for 1d. The conductors changed at Snig Hill, so I told them I had only just got on. I would spend the day trainspotting at Millhouses then come back home to Oughtibridge, walking the last bit. Not a bad summer day out with my Ian Allen trainspotter guide for tuppence and bottle of tizer.
Didn't even know trams used to run down Fargate in Town.
Very foolish to get rid of the old tram network. The new one doesn't go half the places
My dad was a train driver steam locomotives 🚂 the next thing we were going to the Caribbean with my dad work still got family there
Is that Olive grove bus depot at 20:40?
worst thing they did get rid of trams
Wow what a backward and bastardized city we’ve become since those great days.
One of these old Sheffield trams is still in use everyday transporting people around the huge Beamish Museum site near Chester le Street.
I was born in Sheffield March 1956. Unfortunately don't remember trams. Lovely to see footage from Totley via Mill houses down Abbeydale Road. Comprehensive coverage of city centre. Impressed that at that time someone thought to film it in colour. My first ride on a Sheffield tram was at Beamish, also first ride on a steam train. Now glad of the Supertram which gets me from the station to Malin Bridge for the match, foc now, I am a full on pensioner. Live in Leicester now but WTID.
Ridiculous decision to abolish trams in favour off more diesel motor buses, but the commentator is correct, more dedicated tram only lanes
Tram driver on right hand kerb at 12:11 has a white enamel brew can. Don't see those these days. Don't suppose you can even still get them.
No, now it's a throwaway paper coffee cup that costs £4.
Better days then much more simpler
So lovely & nostalgic awesome to see! Thank you 😊
I cannot stand the rose-tinted nonsense i see below about the 'good old days', but getting rid of trams, uk wide, was totally bloody stupid. Similar to the Beeching cuts. They just needed modernized. The method worked, but the rolling stock was rattly, old and noisy. But isn't hindsight a wonderful thing. Too many politicians in the pay of the motor industry (allegedly). Nothing changes.
Until I saw this video I never realised why Abbeydale Road was so wide. It never occurred to me it was for the tram tracks.
Demolishing old buildings and Attercliffe then pedestrianisation and get rid of the Rag nTag to make a car park then fill in our iconic Hole in the Road and more pedestrianisation. Demolish the Castle Market and now no one goes down that end of town. Demolish as many old pubs as possible while you are at it!
Sheffield City Council are bent on removing Sheffields history and heritage. Any historic building are either demolished or vandalised in the name of progress.
I love trains but laughed at my mate growing up for liking busses. This video really helps shows how important his intest actually is so that in years to come, we see how much things have changed. As a lad who grew up in Woodseats, love this video
Must be quite an event organizing the shoot of one of these films. Must have taken ages to kidnap and hide all the black and brown immigrants who 'Actually built Britain' and keep us from seeing them.
"Be seeing you" 😱 I've heard that phrase somewhere else. 😉 Great video, simply luvvley. Thanks. 👍
spoken by Pat McGoohan in the sixties classic "The Prisoner"
Great footage. What’s striking and noticeable to me……no litter what’s so ever along the entire circa 5 mile journey. Would be nice if we could have a similar sense of respect and responsibility nowadays
No takeaways then. People also did not feel the need to eat in the street, carry bottles of water everywhere or drink cups of coffee 'on the go'.
Fast forward 50 years later,Sheffield city is reduce into shithole with homeless, spice heads, empty shops, hideous ''modern'' buildings in 70s, useless ring roads and clean air zone. If only there is time travel the scene now should sent it back to 60s and warn them about how the council messed up the city in the future.
Wish Wish that I could have a time machine.
Don't we all 😢
Me and you both.
Let's play "spot the foreign vehicles" - not.....
Argh! There's a jump cut between the roundabout at Firth Park and Lane Top so I didn't see the house I grew up in on Hereward Road opposite the top of Stubbin Lane 50 years ago... So frustrating!
Awesome to see these old videos how it used to be not a worry insight . . People was plight and had respect for each other not like today in Sheffield . If only we could turn the clocks. Thank you for sharing my family is well chuffed . ❤️❤️
I'm so envious whenever I watch this, wishing I was a kid when trams like these were running. Especially when they covered more ground than Supertram can only dream of. Unfortunately I was another 17 years from making my 1st appearance in Sheffield.
I left Sheffield with my parents about 70 years ago. I still have lots of Sheffield nostalgia.
Different country now
Lovely proper English community and culture
I remember attercliffe like this
It’s a shame that it’s full of all the roadmen and chavs now but it’s still a good city
Fabulous. I was 18 at the time and lived not far from The Moor and London Road. It is a story of my youth.
Way before Sheffield brought back light rail with Stagecoach’s “SuperTRAM”…
Geez , I was only 2 when this was shot. Living up in Scotland. In Canada now and retired. Where oh were did the years go?
That's a lovely video, Thanks for sharing
I spotted an Austin Mini, not many on the roads when this was filmed.
The telltale sound of that bell could only come from a tram. Hearing it now it makes me think back sixty plus years. I'm in RSA and we had them too Thank you for uploading. Very nostalgic
The new Supertram still makes a bell noise along with its little BOOP warning
Thank you so much for this!
When Britain was great. Never to be seen again. What’s scary is that most of these people will now be food for worms. Carpe diem
Weren't they majestic ? Cruising along the roads, what a great way to travel ! Nothing like the modern versions, either.
One of the very best adverts for political failure. Without a doubt we’d be better of with no snout in the trough politicians. Here we see an outstanding system and community destroyed by do it on the cheap, save a few quid ideas!! Bring back hanging!
All about contracts and back handers.
What a treasure of a video. I go down this exact path for work everyday. Thanks for sharing :)
The cliff was thriving then.Banners?
Anyone know what year this is
1960.
