Operator Supertram South Yorkshire brought in several of the quirky buses to replace trams during renewal work between the Cathedral and Main Bridge in Sheffield.
With one of those things that you can no longer do having briefly returned to Sheffield, we took a look at what else you could once do in the city which have now been lost to time.
Here are 25 suggestions. How many of them did you try?
5. Visit the Traditional Heritage Museum on Ecclesall Road
