Too much to take in, I'll have to buy a car!

The 97 and 98 (Totley to Sheffield to Ecclesfield) routes are being severely cut. Currently both services run every half-hour in the evenings but they will both be reduced to running once per hour after the July revision. So frustrating. I've tried complaining to First before. You get fobbed off constantly and then silence reigns supreme.

If I'm reading the timetable right it seems that the 45 doesn't go into Firth Park anymore? If true these changes have added on another 2-3 hours in travel time to my working week. Thanks First!

 

The 46 still goes to firth park, if thats any help.

Just to let First bus users know that a new Sheffield Network Map - dated July 2010 - has been issued and is available on line at its website or you can pick up a copy at Sheffield Interchange.

Any idea if the number 7 timetable has been released? I've looked on the Travel South Yorkshire website but to no avail!

 

It just seems weird that we're so close to these quite substantial changes and there is no sign of all the new timetables yet.

 

Might just be me not looking thoroughly enough

Thank you! Very much appreciated.

 

I'm sure i went on that link yesterday and it just brought up the 72 bus. Has that been added today?

11 First: Sheffield-Stannington-Dungworth

Monday to Saturday evening and all Sunday journeys are replaced by new service 11A. Buses will no longer operate between Stannington and Dungworth. For this part of the route alternative journeys are available on services 61 and 62.

 

11A First: Sheffield-Hall Park Head-Stannington

New service operating between Sheffield and Stannington, Nethergate via Hall Park Head on Monday to Saturday evenings and all day Sundays. It will replace existing journeys on services 11 and 12.

 

12 First: Sheffield-Hall Park Head

Monday to Saturday evening and all Sunday journeys are replaced by new service 11A.

 

What a crock of crud - How are all the older age group suposed to use the 61 and 62 route when only one of these buses passes through the OAP flats area and they are few and far between (although always ontime)

 

First did this once before and it had to go back to normal because i didn't work - where is the pettition to leave them alone - anytime of day these buses are ususally full or enough passengers to warrent not changing them!!

 

Pen pushers who drive and do not use PT have made these changes - nobody asks the actual PT users!

Are you aware of the changes to the bus services around Sheffield that take effect from this weekend?

If anyone has a better link/info, please could you post, thanks.

 

My friend says his service has been withdrawn and he will no longer be able to catch a bus after 6pm!
