Walking 2 minutes to the Beaver Hill Rd stop on Retford Rd we board First South Yorkshire service X5 at 1432. Thinking we might have fallen asleep for a few hours and crossed the border, we alight in Wales (Wales Rd / Chestnut Ave) at 1510 on Wednesday, glad to escape the schoolkids who have boarded at the previous stop.

I took the trouble to telephone the operator and was told the name of South Yorkshire Supertram was a generic term commonly used whereas the full incorporated trading name is the one that has the word "future" in its full titled description.

On this quiz, I am sure that the term "South Yorkshire Supertram" should be in order to be used in postings, as was the term "Sheffield Supertram" prior to the change made.
