you can get on the 23 and that will get you there, however that takes about 2 hours,

the best thing to do is get either the x78 or the 69 from sheffield to rotherham then get a bus from there, or walk as its not too far from town.

Dont know about the pub but it serves the main road through eastwood.

It'll take about 30 mins and leaves from stand C1 (i think) in the Interchange

69 goes from Arundel Gate outside TJ Hughes, X78 goes from the bus Interchange.

Timetables at www.sypte.co.uk or www.firstgroup.com

y'know, instead of repeatidly posting about this when it gets moved/deleted you could just ring:

01709 51 51 51

the transport executive people, they'll be able to advice you better than anyone here most likely

yet again I'll tell you the quickest bus from sheffield to rotherham is the X78...

it leaves from C1 in Sheffield Interchange... the 69 leaves from C3 I think...

The X78 does stop on Fitzwilliam Road, think the Cranworth is along there, it's just a little after rotherham interchange if i remember right.

Oh, and it is C1 stop at Shef interchange.

130 and 132 all go to Rotherham, run fairly regually and you there at a reasonable speed.

x78 runs down eastwood road. Goes from the bus station every 20 mins or so.

yes the x78 does go along cranworth road and the bust stop is just past the pub, so if you get on at the interchange at the x78 bus stop and ask the driver to put you off just after the cranworth pub, then you will get there it would be a good idea to pick up a timetable for coming back thats if you are coming back, and the 69 bus stop in just below the x78 in the interchange because I catch the 69 everyday from the interchange.so they havent moved it out of the interchange.
