Bus Network Consultation - February 2019

[Michael_N 36]

SYPTE are currently holding a bus consultation between 29 October 2018 and 9 December 2018 for proposed bus service changes around the Rotherham/Sheffield area from February 2019.

 

You can view the proposals and have your say at: https://www.travelsouthyorkshire.com/Feb2019/

 

Main changes for Sheffield appear to be:

 

22A/22C City to Wath upon Dearne / Manvers - More journeys provided between City and Rotherham via Waverley and Sheffield Business Park at peak times in both directions to cater for workers. Also revised to serve Parkway Markets as a partial replacement for service 72. Will show service X74 between City and Rotherham, with through tickets provided for services 22A/22C beyond Rotherham.

 

27 Crystal Peaks to Rotherham - Services extended beyond Rotherham to Parkgate, Monday to Fridays only.

 

31 Meadowhall to Rotherham - Service withdrawn and partially replaced by service 208.

 

32 City to Firth Park - Revised route proposed around Fox Hill and Parson Cross. Change of terminus point in City from Interchange/Arundel Gate to Angel Street.

 

36 City to Kimberworth Park - Extended beyond Kimberworth Park to Rotherham.

 

72 City to Meadowhall - Service withdrawn and partially replaced with services 74/74A/X74 and 208.

 

74A City to Rotherham - Service re-routed away from Manor Top/Richmond Road to serve Parkway Markets and Handsworth, before returning to current route at Handsworth Top. Richmond Road therefore only receives 1 bus per hour.

 

208 City to Dinnington - New service running via Attercliffe, Meadowhall Way (Argos/Primark bus stop), Tinsley, Brinsworth, Whiston, Thurcroft and Dinnington.

 

A1 Meadowhall to Waverley - Service revised to run hourly at off-peak times. Service remains every 30 minutes at peak times to cater for workers.

 

M17 Dore to Jordanthorpe - Extended to St James Retail Park and proposals to change the timetable and route further, in order to serve Chancet Wood.

 

X1 City to Maltby - Revised to run every 15 minutes rather than every 10 minutes between Sheffield and Meadowhall. Service to be increased between Meadowhall, Rotherham and Maltby to 7/8 minutes.

 

X5/X55 City to Dinnington - Minor timetable changes to increase reliability.

 

X78 City to Doncaster - Increased to run every 12 minutes rather than every 15 minutes Monday to Friday.

A bus network? That would be a good idea!

 

Ultimately, at the end of the day, I'm glad I've got the use of a car.

Even earlier than each day's end, the bus network is very depleted. Many operators focus on only rush-hour and working-hours services.

The days when buses were a service ended some years ago. They are now a business where they run to make money and gaps are filled by local authorities allegedly. For evening bus provision talk to SYPTE, it is they who have a duty to provide such services but repeatedly find ways of not doing so.

The changes to the X1 and X78 are a very good thing and reflect the needs of the public for a change.

The X10 (not mentioned) also further meets the needs of the travelling public at last.

The 22a 22c 27, 26 fiasco is a strange way of dressing up some interworking of routes. In essence the routes will interwork and offer new links. Basically the terminals are being sold as other than what they are to encourage through travel.
