We take the four minute walk around the corner to the bus stop on the intersection of Middlewood Road and Lennox Road, where we board the 1248 First South Yorkshire service 18 to Darnall (Prince of Wales Road/Bowden Wood Crescent*), arriving there at 1337 on Monday afternoon.

* Inconveniently, there are two stops with identical names, as Bowden Wood Crescent is a loop and comes out twice onto Prince of Wales Road. The stop in question is the first served, opposite Mather Road, for clarity :)
