CTID 7 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Does anyone know how long it will take to get to sheffield by minibus? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityboy Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 M5, M42, A42, M1 takes about 3 hours by car, so just over that by bus I'd imagine....(unless your driver's mad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest puddy_bcfc Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 yer that sounds about right, depends on how fast the mini bus can go. see you there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 M5, M42, A42, M1 takes about 3 hours by car, so just over that by bus I'd imagine....(unless your driver's mad) Well I drove to Hartlepool in 4 hours and I believe that's over 100 miles further than Sheffield, so I guess you can include me in the aforementioned 'mad' category. Though needless to say, I strongly urge everyone to drive within the prescribed speed limit at all times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I make a similar journey to Nottigham on a regular basis, with a good traffic free run it takes me about 2.30hrs, I would say that Shefield is another 45 mins approx. Following City Rockers comments can I just say that there are a couple of places to watch out for in particular. Just after Worcester there is a bridge with a phone mast next to it (on the right as you head north) This is used by the police to make emergency turns and they hide just behind it on the ramp there on both sides of the road. so watch out. On the M42 after the M40 split, there is about 5 miles of road that currently has a 50mile an hour speed limit enforced by cameras and unmarked Police Cars. The annoying thing is there isn't much sign of roadworks or many speed limit signs, so it is easy to forget. Even the return to normal speed limits isn't that clear. Anyway be good and if you can't be good be careful. Make us proud guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Snufflelufagus Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Did the mini bus thing last game up there. It took 4 and a 1/2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen many people flashed by those babies at about 60mph......they keep switching the ones round that flash you too so best policy is to keep to 50, it's only a few miles after all....

The number of people I've seen flashed by those cameras is astonishing. Just another tax isn't it? Hope to see loads of you on the M42/M1 as we're driving up from Birmingham!

Guest rose Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Those cameras got me last week coming back from Grimsby. Luckily I'm not driving on Saturday. Beware, or we could all be taking up Jer's challenge and getting on our bikes next season. 3 points of freedom left, so if you're stuck behind a little red sporty number, with a BCFC sticker in the back, don't flash me to speed up or get out of the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
