Blue is reduced from every 10-12 mins to every 15 mins in the daytime (still every 20 mins eve/Sun same as pre-covid) and Tram Train is half hourly all day every day, normally 3 per hour Mon-Sat daytime. The evening Tram Train service is actually now better than pre-covid incidentally! Yellow and Purple are running to the normal Pre-Covid timetable at present.

New timetables available at https://travelsouthyorkshire.com/en-gb/newsupdates/service-changes 83/83A changes are a complete laugh, so First keep their half hourly service on the 83, but Stagecoach decide to reduce their half hourly service to a 40 minute headway… so every few hours there will probably be 2 buses on the 83/83A following each other around. Great joined up thinking… pathetic from Stagecoach yet again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great joined up thinking… pathetic from Stagecoach yet again! What a shame first and Stagecoach could not work together but then Stagecoach can't even manage joined up writing internally with the trams with very often the yellow and blue trams following each other between hillsborough and the town of the yellow tram and tram train doing the same. No concept of customer service operationally led have not as yet seen the joined up timetable for the tram and SL1/A bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1295galaxy Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) its not the bus times that needs changing,its the number of times a bus driver waits at a stop when there no one there,you ask the driver why,an he says i am waiting for a timer,so the journeys now are taking a longer to get to,why they have brought this in,is just stupid,and the number of cars on the roads is just showing why its bad,We never had this in Sheffield before,so why as Stagecoach brought this idea in,is just turning loads away from catching a bus Edited October 23, 2021 by 1295galaxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
