Any First changes I keep hearing the 1a is going to run up to High Green again but I don’t know if it’s true as I keep hearing many different dates

That means more buses and staff required, vice versa Stagecoach would start going to Hillsborough again as per the original deal.

No. First South Yorkshire already couldn't accept a revised CBSSG deal as they were not maintaining 80% of the pre-Covid network as of October 2022. Hence they made their cuts; yet Stagecoach and TM Travel still receive this funding - now extended through to 30th June 2023.
