Last weekend, I was down in Sheffield viewing the revamped Sheffield Bus Partnership network, which has received a few tweaks since the initial issues.

Some observations and interworking patterns:
  • As per the previous network when it was services 47/48 (Shiregreen-City-Herdings), service 1a (High Green-City-Herdings) interworks at Herdings with the 56 (Wybourn-City-Herdings)
  • As it is only runs between Hillsborough and Meadowhall, the 38 interworks at all times at one end of the route - during the Monday to Saturday daytime hours it interworks at Hillsborough with the 97/98 (Totley or Totley Brook-City-Hillsborough). On Sundays, it interworks at Meadowhall with the 18 (City-Norton Lees-Gleadless Townsend-Meadowhall). Evening interworking is quite random, some 38s work onto 18s at Meadowhall and off 97/98 in Hillsborough while some 38s start off 18s at Meadowhall.
  • First's Sunday trips on the 83 (Ecclesfield-City-Bents Green) interworks with the 20 (Hemsworth-City-Ecclesfield). Stagecoach's Sunday 83s (they only run the 83 evening/Sunday) run light to the depot at Ecclesfield to layover
  • One 271/272 Weekday board works onto 81/82 in Dore at 1439. Monday to Saturday Evening 272s work off an 81/82 board arriving into the City from Millhouses at 2009 (light from Angel Street to the Interchange)[Image: 24485259130_66d4d8048d_c.jpg]First South Yorkshire 47483 (SN64 CNU) by Tony Kuy, on Flickr
  • Rotherham's evening turns on the 69 (Rotherham-Tinsley-Sheffield) and X5 (Sheffield-Dinnington) are now worked by Streetdecks rather than Streetlites, likewise Olive Grove now use B9TLs on their turns rather than Streetlites. Sunday turns are now mostly Rotherham operated using their 4 Streetlites[Image: 24687289811_f244ea3301_c.jpg]First South Yorkshire 35121 (SM65 EFH) by Tony Kuy, on Flickr
  • One of the evening turns on the 4a (City-Millhouses Tesco) and 6a (City-Manor Top) works off the peak turn on the 29 (Sheffield-Penistone) so can throw up random Solos or even a MAN Centro as per Friday[Image: 24413125349_6d915c96ba_c.jpg]TM Travel 1200 (YN08 JWE) by Tony Kuy, on Flickr
  • The 6 (Darnell-City-Millhouses Tesco) has a 31 minutes layover at Millhouses every trip - interestingly, prior to the network recast, the old version of the 6 also had a long layover in the Interchange following the lost of the 31/31a (City-Hillsborough) by TM
