Hahaha renumbering the 13 bus into something different. There are still people out there believing number 13 has some negative aspects attached to it?

[jayne67 10]

I looked at the revised timetable for the 14 (or 84) a couple of days ago, and If I read this correctly, the last bus is quite early...don't know if its around 8.15 ish....if this is correct, its not very good for public transport users of the Wisewood/Loxley area....

Thank you Bingley this is much appreciated.

I believe that route used to be 81 and 82 before didn't it, many years ago?

Why do they have to keep changing them around, to keep us on our toes I suppose.

That is the case now - the TM Travel 31 extends to Loxley in the evening.

If you need a ticket valid for both First and TM Travel you can get a Citywide pass - £4.30 for the day or £17 for the week.

So services 11 and 12 are to be replaced by services 81 and 82 are they?

 

It was First who split the old 81 and 82 services in half creating services 11 and 12 anyway! They said it would make things better on the divided route when everyone else said it was a rubbish idea.

 

And the 84 as well I think

 

Ish!

Gonna have trouble keeping to time on Eccy Road and through Hillsborough

[verydull 10]

first have short memories. They split the 13/14 off at woodhouse because of "timekeeping" and said it was more "efficient" to run it just from town.

 

The 22 route doesn't particularly go anywhere (and exists about 2 miles apart from the 25 along its route) and it doesn't even connect with the 13/ 14 in town.

 

now they are going to connect 2 of the busiest and congested areas of sheffield together?

 

mmm good thinking first.

Seems a bit strange that the new 81/82 services seem to run from Stannington to Ecclesall turning circle but not to Dore and yet there is a Dore to Stannington timetable.

Also note all tram services will return to normal on Monday following the work between Tinsley and Meadowhall to construct a level crossing for the new link road as part of the new Bus Rapid Transit North scheme.

To remind of the trams normal service....

Blue route : Halfway-Gleadless-City-Hillsborough-Malin Bridge (with bus link SL2 Malin Bridge to Stannington and bus link SL3 Moss Way to Killamarsh). Trams every 10 minutes daytime, every 20 minutes evening/Sunday. Combines with Purple route Gleadless to City and Yellow route City-Hillsborough to offer more frequent service.

Purple route : Herdings Park-Gleadless-City (with daytime services extended to Meadowhall). Trams every 30 minutes daytime, every 20 minutes evening/Sunday. Combined service with blue route Gleadless-City more frequent.

Yellow route : Meadowhall-Attercliffe-City-Hillsborough-Middlewood (with bus link SL from Middlewood to Stocksbridge). Trams every 10 minutes daytime, every 20 minutes evening/Sunday. Combined service with blue route City-Hillsborough more frequent.

 

 

Stagecoach will also soon be announcing a fantastic special offer for regular passengers who choose to buy their weekly Megarider ticket online and get a smart card.

 

Over at TM Travel they are getting some new Optare Versa midi-buses for route 30 and will be very soon relaunching it as the Orange line.

Still a bit puzzled about the 81 round Greystones. The map shows it going up Ecclesall Ed and missing Greystones out, but Greystones is shown as a stop on the list. So what exactly is the route going to be? At present it goes up Greystones Rd/High Storrs Rd to Bents Green then returns the same way. Does it now miss out Bents Green and go to Ecclesall Terminus instead, and which way does it come back?

 

Either way we can say goodbye to the service. Even with the shorter route between Angel Street and Bents Green they sometimes lost so much time they terminated at Hunters Bar to catch up. If they've got to start running all the way across the city there's no way they'll keep to time.

 

From what was said when they first mooted this change a few months ago, it's so the service from the Stannington end will pass close to the new market. There was an outcry at the time and they said they'd look again when the market opened. So much for consultation. The old 11 /12 route already ran past Moorhead. Why not just extend it to the bottom of the Moor instead of fouling up four services?
