Heyesey Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 THere wher also the 2?? routes. They tended to be sheffield to somewhere over the boundary routes. 219 sheffield - dinnington via the 23 bus route to woodhouse mill ( i think) 221 sheffield - treeton ( i think again) 277/8 doncaster ? 206/207 also ran to Dinnington, by various routes. 208 ALSO ran to Dinnington, by yet another route, but wasn't run by SYPTE. 260, Sheffield - Westfield: 261, Sheffield - Killamarsh: 262, Sheffield - Eckington. Used to be my buses home. Later replaced by the X51 and X52, which were in turn replaced by the 21 route. And you're right. Routes 1-99 were routes within the (old) city limits - apart from non-SYPTE buses like the 53 to Mansfield, 85 to Worksop; routes 100-199 were Rotherham buses; routes 200-299 were Sheffield buses than across the boundary.
