Yorkshire Terrier Bus Routes (Read 8,480 times)

[lboyle]

Can anyone provide a full list of Yorkshire Terrier bus routes past and present from 2000 on wards please?

Some of the ones I can think of are the following,

8/9 East Sheffield Circulars (Darnall Shopper Buses)
35 Woodhouse - Herdings via City
49 Parson Cross - Darnall via City
76 Burncross - Low Edges via City

And some I can slightly remember but not in much detail such as the 127 to Crystal Peaks.

Obviously we know that in the final days of Yorkshire Terrier the following routes were operated,

25 - Woodhouse Cross to Bradway via City
52 - Woodhouse Cross to Hillsborough via City
61 - Hillsborough to Bradfield Circular via Stannington
62 - Hillsborough to Bradfield Circular via Stannington
64 - Hillsborough to Rivelin via Malin Bridge
72 - Batemoor to High Green via City
72A - Batemoor to Manvers via City
72B - Batemoor to Meadowhall via City
72X - Batemoor to Barnsley via City
120 - Streetfield to Royal Hallamshire Hospital via City
121 - Streetfield to Royal Hallamshire Hospital via City
123 - Walkley to Crystal Peaks via City
M22 - City to Firth Park

the 127 was City-Crystal Peaks via East Bank Road, Manor Top, Dyke Vale Road and Hackenthorpe.

They also ran the 63 to Birley on evening tender at one time-I remember they used the B6's/Northern counties-but dont know what year.

74, High Green - Carter Knowl Road, via Grenoside, City.

[moonraker79]

They also ran some journeys on the X7 (Sheffield-Maltby).

Could we also try and add PVR's:

I know 72/72A/72B/72X (interworked) have a PVR of 14, usually used B6/Dash.

[metromadman]

Also, if I remember correctly, the 74/A had a PVR of around 10, using the DAF SB220/ELC Myllenniums, but when they went on to the 52, anything they could find, PS's, Dash's etc.

dont think the 35 is 2000 onwards. got chopped mid to late 90s.

if you want all routes then would suggest

10/11 parsons cross darnall via manor top

before 1993 when i started there i recall seeing them on 36 batemoor tender

x46/x47 killamarsh

i recall the 121 starting it was a 120 rerouted via holbrook ind est
for benefit of staff working at a air tool company whic relocated from
eyre st. we used to spin bus in the car park, so a novelty possibly
that a service bus passed thru private property?

there were also selected peak journeys on the 14s to wisewood for a time.

[swfcforever]

what about Kingsman Travel routes as well-I know of the X46 and X47, but didn't Kingsman also do another route?

[rbrt]

hmm there were some early morning trips into rotherham, remember going blindly around the estates near the moorgate hospital, the regular driver having knocked
and was 6am spare or something. perhaps still being operated after their tie in with rotherham and distrct?? guess would have started at swallownest or aughton

[dougie]

Plenty other routes - 15, 16, 37, 46, 49, 49A, 60, 126, 138, 266, 371, M49, M50 (plus a few more taken on from Andrews Sheffield Omnibus, but depends on when you draw the line)...

dont forget the 201

[jswallow]

The very first routes Yorkshire Terrier ran were the 15 and 16 which were City - Walkley - Crookes circular services (can't remember which one went round which way). The benefit of these compared to the later carbon copy of the 52 was they served Moorfoot.

Back in the early 2000's there was a time when Yorkshire Terrier did the limited evening service on the 252 route, under contract to Derbyshire County Council.

I've never seen a timetable for these routes (would love to see one though!), but I've assumed that the 15/16 went the same way round the Crookes/ Walkley loop that the old SYT 15/16 did?

Terrier did try some "new" routes, rather than directly competing on existing frequent services (like others did)...

[jswallow]

I reckon 15 and 16 must have echoed the old PTE 15 and 16 services in the Crookes and Walkley area, or Terrier wouldn't have recycled the numbers. Unfortunately I don't have a timetable or route details for those either.

Terrier - at the start - were pretty innovative with their choice of routes. The 15/16, 25 etc. Nearly always either having something unique about them or linking up different halves of the city that hadn't been linked before.
