A couple of other things for Doncaster:
-a new route 56 as well as 55 to Rosso- any ideas what this is?
-the 75 is also a Rosso route now, it says
-for route 191, does this mean for Sundays only or have First taken over the other parts from YTC and Leon now?

IIRC they just couldn't be arsed to OK it with the traffic commisioner, so 56 is shown at going to Rosso as it used to be, 75 going out to Rosso (course the 75B was always taking precedence over 75C - the 75C bus would turn short at the Dome or be diverted to Rosso and promptly get smashed up by the chavs).
The reason for curtailing the 75 to the Dome was due to the unreliability - the timetable just couldn't be kept to.

What's route 56? I thought it was strange that they had all the others in the 50-9 series but no 56. So, am I right in thinking that the 75 and 191 aren't changing but someone made a mistake or couldn't be bothered?

They will be changing, but to serve the interchange.
The Rosso service used to be 55/56, they were the same but in Rosso they went round the "loop" opposite ways, I'm not clued up on Rosso TBH but I think
55: Parrots Corner - Stripe Road - Clay Flatt Lane - Radburn Road - King Avenue - Station Road - Parrots Corner
56: Parrots Corner - Station Road - King Avenue - Radburn Road - Clay Flatt Lane - Stripe Road - Parrots Corner
or somethign similar anyway. Then they "simplified" it in 2001 and put spuds on the route, dropped the 56. And then certain journeys went via Bessacarr - so you'd get
55, 56B, 55, 56, 55B, 56, 55, 56B, 55, 56, 55B, 56, 55, 56B
and so on. Confusing doesn't come into it!

PB0002307/42 FIRST SOUTH YORKSHIRE LTD, MIDLAND ROAD GARAGE, MIDLAND RD , ROTHERHAM, S61 1TF Variation Accepted: Operating between Doncaster, College Road and Rossington, King Avenue given service number 55/56 effective from 08-Jun-2006. To amend Route and Timetable. Just thought- 56 might just be the new name for the 55B, as that isn't mentioned  . Unless they want to go back to the old complicated system that Tom Beevers mentioned. |
