I suspect this will have mixed feelings!
Dear Colleague
In preparation for the Winter months, and following customer and stakeholder feedback, Rotherham Bus Partnership members have agreed to make changes to a few bus services in Rotherham from the 30 October in order to improve service provision.
The below information explains these changes
What is Changing?
* Service 70/71/72 - Rotherham – Brinsworth - Sheffield
Following on-going work with the developer it is now possible for a bus service to serve the new housing estate at Waverley. This change will be implemented at the end of October so that residents have better access to a bus service during the winter months.
This means:
o Service 72 will have additional resource introduced to the service and be routed through the Waverley housing estate rather than around it. This will ensure that all roads with housing or businesses will have access to a bus service.
o Minor changes to service 70 and 71 will occur to maintain the coordination of services between Rotherham and Brinsworth.
* Service X1 - Maltby – Rotherham – Meadowhall – Sheffield
An additional bus will be added at certain times of the day during November and December so that any delays caused by increased congestion at this busy time of year do not impact on passengers.
* Service X78 - Doncaster – Rotherham – Meadowhall – Sheffield
An additional bus will be added between the morning and afternoon peak periods during November and December so that any delays caused by increased congestion at this busy time of year do not impact on passengers.
How is this being communicated to customers?
Details will be available shortly at travelsouthyorkshire.com<http://www.travelsouthyorkshire.com> and timetable information will be displayed at all affected bus stops.
Kind regards
