I'm trying to gather evidence as bus route 52 Stagecoach Sheffield is being cut short from September Why do you need evidence? has a crime taken place? The route is being cut back at one end and extended at the other. As far as I am aware that is legal. |

Because it is very busy and already standing only at peak times. Reducing the service down to every 12 minutes is going to cause overcrowding and the bus going past some stops as full

Reducing the service down to every 12 minutes is going to cause overcrowding and the bus going past some stops as full You do realise it's only cut short to terminate at Crookes as opposed to running down to Hillsborough which will still be served by First. I personally think it's a sensible idea along with the 1/1a situation. I doubt the section from Crookes to Hillsborough is busy enough to justify a 6 minute service and much doubt this section is standing only. |

There is also the fact it is being extended at the other end to Crystal Peaks to nick passengers off the 30 ( its easier to steal other folks passengers then generate new ones). Sorry that should have said " providing new links, and other such spin ". |

TSY will no doubt catch up eventually and hail it as a fantastic new idea driven by them. |

Its good news that there will be less almost empty buses passing through Hillsborough , not that many years ago there were 2 buses up and down Walkley Lane an hour we now have 12 it got totally out of hand.

I think First's most popular destination is somewhere called 'Sorry - Not in Service'. I'm not quite sure where this is but many of their buses always seem to be going there.
