Quick summary of the changes so far:
- 4: The 1800 service from Rotherham no longer runs.
- 10/10a: The Mon-Fri 1515 from Manor Top no longer serves Endcliffe Vale Road.
- 20/21/21a/22: Minor timetable changes to improve reliability.
- 26/27: [As above]
- 28/28a/28c/29/30/30a: 0606/0710
28a from Park Spring Road to Barnsley will no longer run,
28c changes to route and times,
29a renumbered to
30a,
30a has new journeys from Barnsley to Park Avenue (Brierley) via Grimethorpe, operating Mon-Sat evenings and all day Sunday.
- 31/31a: Timetable changes at peak times to improve reliability.
- 36: Changes to the route and times, rerouted between South Hiendley and Shafton.
- 37/38/38a: Changes to the timetable.
- 67/67a: Minor timetable changes to improve reliability.
- 70a/71/71a/72: Timetable changes to improve reliability (I've often noted the turnaround time in Sheffield to be rather tight, even in the middle of the day).
- 87 (Maltby): Changes to the times - 1715 from Maltby and 1815 from Meadowhall withdrawn Mon-Sat.
- 96/97: Changes to the timetable.
- 193: Re-routed in Monk Bretton to run direct along Wakefield Road as opposed to Rotherham Road, meaning subsequent timetable adjustments.
- 217/218: The final journey from Mexborough on a Sunday will now run through to Rotherham, instead of terminating at the Rawmarsh depot.
- 219/219a: The 0720 journey from Barnsley retimed to depart at 0710 to allow time to get to Doncaster due to early morning rush hour.
- 220: Minor changes to times.
- 222: Minor changes to Mon-Fri times.
- 265: The SCHD 0840 from Barnsley will now depart at 0845 and terminate at Chapeltown.
- 405/X45: 407 journeys renumbered to 405 (no effect on routes/times). X45 Mon-Sat late night and Sunday journeys withdrawn.
- M92: 1630 Mon-Fri from Harley no longer serves Grenoside Crematorium, instead running direct along Main Street and Fox Hill Road.
- FreeBee: Changed to
PSS (Parkgate Shopper Service). Will now be a payable service, with ENCTS passes still accepted within the usual times. No comment on TravelMaster acceptance.
- X3/X7: X7 at 1700 no longer runs. Alternate journeys on X1 (next joke
)
- X19: Mon-Sat 1645 from Barnsley retimed to 1640 to avoid a stand clash.
- X20: Minor timetable changes to improve reliability.
All I'm going to say is good luck to the
PSS. Seems like there's something wrong at Powells with less buses running in the evening and turning the FreeBee into a loss making *ahem* fare payable service. With competition from the 22a/22c/106/108/109/208/217/218/221 (to name a few), I doubt a half-hourly service from the lonely C3 stand will compete.
