Andy C Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Other changes haven't been publicly announced, however some have appeared on the South Yorkshire Transport Enthusiasts forum which involve routes 10/10a, 31, 32, 58 and M92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Macbeth Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Getting the 52a back on the Wisewood and Loxley routes will be a big plus in this area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feargal Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The loss of the 52a and subsequent poor service of the 31 has been terrible for the community. So pleased it's coming back. Hopefully, it will be more reliable so that people can use it fully. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Bynnol Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The extension of the 52 beyond Hillsborough was an unmitigated disaster for the frequency and robustness of the timetable for passengers on the whole route out to Woodhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an obsession with the X1 and a determination to make it work despite there being no demand for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X1 is changing if the proposal goes through. The proposal has it using the current X78 route between Sheffield and Rotherham X1: Sheffield > Brightside > Meadowhall > Masborough > Rotherham > Route as current > Maltby X2 (X10): Sheffield > Brightside > Meadowhall > Masborough > Rotherham > Route as current X10 > Maltby > Doncaster X3 (X78): Sheffield > Attercliffe > Meadowhall > Magna/Templeborough > Rotherham > Route as current X78 > Doncaster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for us in the South e.g. Broomhill who will have to suffer it always being late because being stuck in the traffic at Hillsborough corner. The 52 was supposed to be a bus to Broomhill & Crookes. They extended it to Hillsborough to give people of Broomhill and Crookes a chance to have the amenities of Hillsborough e.g. 2 shopping centres, First Point centre, large park etc. Now the South West is yet again having to suffer for the benefit of those in the north.

feargal Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Yeah Irene, there's barely any buses going through Broomhill 🙄, it must be terrible for you. Wisewood and Loxley have NO buses in the evening and Sundays. None. We'd bloody love a bus, late or otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
