ALL CHANGE
PAUL CHANCELLOR chooses three photographs from the Colour-Rail archive to illustrate half a century of transformation in Sheffield
Life once was simple in Sheffield. It was served by its corporation fleet, which after 1960 and the closure of the original tram system, was an-all bus operation, albeit that ownership was mixed with British Railways owning parts of the fleet. BET’s East Midland and Yorkshire Traction provided longer distance services respectively to the south and north, while the corporations of Doncaster, Rotherham and Chesterfield also ran into the city.
