More of the new South Yorkshire Timetables now available:
- 57/SL1/SL1a: SL1 evenings are reduced to hourly (SL1a also hourly - meaning some passengers connecting off the tram will have a longer wait as the current frequency is every 20 same as the trams). Sunday daytimes - combined 20 minutes frequency of 2 SL1s and 1 SL1a an hour. The Hillsborough evening extension is via Middlewood Road following the tram tracks
- 70/71: combined half hourly service between Rotherham and Meadowhall with both services operating via St Lawerence Road but only towards Meadowhall/Sheffield. These services also serve the new Bus Rapid Transit road in that direction. The early morning weekday journeys from Rotherham to Sheffield operate as 71s rather than 70s. All evening and Sunday journeys between Rotherham and Meadowhall operate as 70s.
- 6/6a: only two am peak journeys into Sheffield and one PM return replaces the 6 am and 6 pm trips on the 505 (which all run as round trip return journeys - but currently terminate at the University of Sheffield's Western Bank Campus)
- 38/38a: 38a journeys run off peak only.
- X3: the current X13 renumbered and revised to operate via the current 69 route out of Sheffield to Brinsworth Batley Lane (towards Sheffield, it operates via St Lawerence Road and the new Bus Rapid Transit Road)
- X78: new frequency - every 15 minutes from each end of the route from 0700 until 1800 when it drops to every 20 (Doncaster drops to every 20 from 1745). From Sheffield it is every 20 minutes until 2030 (1930 and 2030 from Sheffield terminate in Rotherham) while Doncaster drops to half hourly from 1900. The last journeys along the full route now also leave earlier - the last departure from Doncaster to Sheffield is now half an hour earlier at 2210 arriving at 2322 (currently 2240 arriving at 2352, while the last Sheffield to Doncaster leaves at 2225 (currently 2230) arriving at 2337. The last Sheffield departure is now 2325 (currently 2355 with no 2325).
