What are loadings like on the full length 505s? When ever I've seen them arriving in or leaving the city centre there very sparse but I may be missing the busier (if there are any) trips. Long 505s do ok, the last one from Sheffield at 15:30 does quite well because it passes the (Girls?) School near Hallamshire Hospital at kicking out time. In my opinion the long 505s need to serve the same stops as the 85 in town to pick up the same passengers. As it is currently, even I don't know what route it takes in town! Also extend one or both of the short 505s and you've instantly matched First's offering but with better vehicles. |

In my opinion the long 505s need to sort out what the route around the University of Sheffield is. Is it via the 30 route both ways? Is it via the 30 route inbound, and Glossop Road - Ring Road - Western Bank - Clarkson Street - Glossop Road outbound? Or even doing the Western Bank loop *inbound* like I saw once. Bit confusing - I wouldn't know where at the University to stand if I wanted Millhouses. Still, Tates failed to run the correct route when they briefly operated the 505, e.g. taking short cuts to skip the Hallamshire stop, very naughty... |

I noticed this morning the 36 that gets into Sheffield from Firth Park around 06:30, then runs onto the 56 to Wybourn.

Still, Tates failed to run the correct route when they briefly operated the 505, e.g. taking short cuts to skip the Hallamshire stop, very naughty... That's a problem too - the only time I took a long 505 it went via Western Bank inbound and then the 52 route by the relish factory. It's marked on the stops to do the 30 route inbound, but I have been waiting at that stop on Glossop Road when one was due and not seen one. I think the correct route is Glossop Road inbound and Western Bank outbound - that wold certainly make the most sense as it would tie with the daytime variant. Personally I reckon it should have its outbound route changed so that instead of using West Street it runs down Leopold Street and Charter Row to serve the 85 stops, then via Hanover Street to Western Bank, like the 241/2 does. There also needs to be better differentiation between the long and short 505s, I've seen too many showing the wrong displays. EDIT: in theory it could do that inbound too as long as it takes a detour along Upper Hanover Street to turn at the University Roundabout and avoid the forbidden right turn (then running the exact same city centre loop as the 85). I was once on a 50 that did that! |

Does the Stagecoach 89 interwork with the 39 at all? Always seems to have a branded 39 Optare Solo as its allocation.

TM Travel had an Olympian on 79 this evening. I think it was one of the L Reg one's. Was on High Street at 19:40 and Flat Street at 22:34. What does this run off?
TM Travel Versa YJ08PFN on 17 in Sheffield Interchange at 23:00. What does this run off, in the day? I am sure I read on here that the 17 runs off the 201.

1A and 3 at Cedar Drive in Ravenfield Common from what I saw this morning when heading to work. Not sure if this has been mentioned previously or not. Both routes are operated by First.

How does the Sunday interworking between the X6 and X78 work? For example how many times does a bus work onto the X6 and is it everytime an x6 comes into Sheffield etc
