Just wondering if anybody can remember what routes came under the town link branding.
What numbers and destinations were used.
I can remember some old mini buses with the branding for the service, were there anymore vehicles that received the branding.

Can only remember one sadly and that was the 84 Mexborough to Kilnhurst via Swinton service. IIRC it ran from Birdwell Road onto Highthorn Road, Lawrence Drive and then around the housing estates in Swinton into Mexborough bus station. It was withdrawn when the 295 and 296 were withdrawn IIRC.
Can remember it running through the Patios up Lawrence Drive, I think it even served Calladine Way shopping parade at one bit as there was a SYPTE bus stop there.
Ironically Birdwell Road has only just got a bus service back after 10 years, albeit only for a few months in the form of the 918 service.
I'm pretty sure the 75 Rotherham to Old Denaby via Swinton route was also part of the Town Link services, but not too sure on this route.

The mini buses were various sizes of MCW metroriders and Reeve Burgess bodied Mercs
In Barnsley I remember there was the 27A/27B.
The 27A ran - Bus Sta - Huddersfield Road - Victoria Crescent - Swift Street - Guest Road - Kensington Rd - School St - Greenfoot Lane - Gawber Road - Redbrook Rd - Church St - Wharfedale Road - Farm House Lane - Pogmoor Road - West Moor Cres - Longside Way - Pogmoor Road - Summer Lane - Bus Sta
The 27B ran Bus Sta - Summer Lane - Pogmoor Road - West Moor Cres - Longside Way - Pogmoor Road - Warner Road - Pennie Way - Limes Ave - Redbrook Rd - Gawber Road - Greenfoot Lane - School St - Kensington Rd - Guest Road - Swift St - Victoria Cres - Huddersfield Road - Bus Sta.
I think there was a 26A/B that ran up Summer lane - Keir Street - Gawber Road - and terminated in Samual Road then back along Gawber Road then either via Kier Street/Summer Ln or Gawber road back into town. I dont think this was a town link service I seem to remember it having deckers on it sometimes.
