I know, but there are several stops in Lodge Moor that are on Redmires Road :).

From Halfway, we board the 10:19 Blue Route Supertram service to Shalesmoor (somewhere I’d want to be even less on a Saturday night!), arriving at 11:03 Sunday morning.

Even making allowances for the undoubted excellences of the Sheffield Supertram system, I cannot believe that time travel is one of those attributes, hence my query on how it is possible to commence a journey at 1019 and arrive at the intended destination at the earlier time of 1003.

Apologies, the source I used didn't specify which stop and appeared to have slightly underestimated just how long Redmires Road is!

We next take the five minute walk to Meadow Street and board the 1137 Stagecoach Yorkshire service 31 to Loxley (Loxley Road/Black Lane) that arrives there at 1158 on Sunday morning.

Taking the five minute walk to the bus stop on Rodney Hill, we then board the 1208 TM Travel service 61 to Hillsborough (Interchange), arriving there at 1247 on Sunday afternoon.
