Anyone happen to have the full list of former Eager Beaver routes that used to operate around South Yorkshire? I can only personally recall a few services that used to be operated under the Eager Beaver brand. - 601/602 Rotherham to Meadowhall every 5 minutes
- 130 Rotherham to Sheffield every 10 minutes
- 52 Woodhouse Station to Crookes every 3 minutes
- 64 Woodhouse to Charnock every 15 minutes
Not sure if there were anymore as these are all that I can recall. However what criteria did routes need to meet to become a Eager Beaver route did they have to meet a certain frequency or type of route?

M72 Doncaster to Edenthorpe (Tesco) via Wheatley Hall Road, Crompton Road and Truro Ave.
M76 Doncaster to Beckett Road
M77 Doncaster to Clay Lane via Beckett Road
They used Little Nips and Eager Beavers.

Hello to each and everyone of you here,i am an ex Beaver driver from Herries Road Depot.
Our routes back then (i was there 89-91) were.
13 City - Wisewood, 10 min service via Kelvin,Hillsborough
14 City - Loxley, 10 minutes service via Kelvin,Hillsborough
33 City - Herries Depot, 10 minute service via Burngreave,Shirecliffe
65 City - Outibridge, (Sundays Only) hourly i think.
89 City - Monteney Road,via Kelvin,Leppings Lane,Wadsley Bridge and Yew Lane. 10 minute service.
M92 Grenoside - Chapeltown via Ecclesfield, which i think was a Little Nipper Service and called at Thorncliffe Ind Est.
We also did a circuler route which ran from Meadowhall calling at NGH, Southey,Fox Hill. I only ever did it once,and cant remember the route number,but may have been M93/M94. It took an eternity to learn the route lol because it went everywhere.
We may have had more routes,but cant recall off hand.
Hope this helps jog a few memories anyway.

I seem to recall that the 130 was a beaver route until it was extended to Sheffield, then run with rotherham mainline decks (but i could be wrong) |
