Buses on Sicey Avenue, Firth Park

Firth Park is something of a focal point for the bus network in north Sheffield: two main corridor cross here, with a number of less frequent routes also serving the area. Here, one of Stagecoach's Alexander ALX300 bodied MAN 18.240HOCL single deckers loads at one of the main bus stops serving the Firth Park district centre. At this point, Sicey Avenue is one way and the zebra crossing in the left background is correspondingly narrow; therefore, when more than one bus attempts to use the bus stop, no traffic can get through until both buses move. On this occasion, the First operated double decker appears to have tried to escape but cannot quite squeeze past its rival.
