(18 Jul 2016, 9:34 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Further major changes are taking place in the Rotherham and Sheffield area in early September as followed:

• The 35 (Sheffield-Wincobank-Meadowhall-Hillsborough) will be reduced from half hourly Sheffield-Wincobank (hourly to Hillsborough) to just the hourly full route journeys.
  
• The short 35s will be replaced by new service 70 which also partily replaces services 69 and certain 71 journeys. The remaining 71s are also slightly re-routed within the Meadowhall area while some journeys replace the 69 in Tinsley.
  
• The 69 is fully replaced by new service X1 between Rotherham and Sheffield, which also extends to Maltby replacing the 1/2.
  
• The X78 is reduced to every 15 minutes throughout the route. Between Rotherham and Meadowhall, the service is re-routed to replace the 22m which is withdrawn.
  
• Saturday journeys on the 31/31a (Sheffield-Loxley) will be operated by Stagecoach instead of Sheffield Community Transport
  
• The SL (Middlewood Park & Ride - Stockbridge) will be renumbered SL1/SL1a with alternative journeys operating the reverse route around the Stockbridge loop. Evening journeys on the SL1 are also revised and extended from Middlewood to Hillsborough Interchange (route to be confirmed)
  

• Linburg will cease service work - the Abbeydale Road Tesco services (C1/C2/C3/C4/C5/C6) are withdrawn. The 505 which runs at peaks times only will be replaced by peak time extra journeys on TM Travel's Line 6.Linburg OUI9980 by Tony Kuy, on Flickr
  
• The 'new' X1 (in reality the merger of the 69 with the 1/2) will operate every 10 minutes combined - in Maltby half the journeys will terminate at the present 1 terminus at Quailter Road Model Village (and will show 'Maltby, Quailter Road') while the other half termiante at the present 2 terminus at Salisbury Road (and will show that on the destination). The Sheffield terminus will move from the Interchange to Eyre Street to serve the Moor Market. Monday to Saturday early evening the service will operate every 20 minutes until 2100 when it reduces to every 30 minutes. Sundays will operate every 20 minutes until 1800 then every 30 minutes. Evening and Sunday journeys interwork with the Doncaster-bound 10 in Maltby.
  
• The current X13 from Sheffield to Woodlaithes is renumbered X3 (to tie-in with the X1 no doubt) with an extra AM into Sheffield leaving Woodlaithes at 0650 and an extra PM from Sheffield leaving at 1800.
  
• In Doncaster, Stagecoach's hourly extension of the X19 to Robin Hood Airport is replaced by a new First-operated X4.
  
• In the Dearne Valley, Stagecoach's services are mainly retimed to improve coordination - the 22x/222/226 between Barnsley and Wath, the 220/221 between Doncaster and Mexborough.
  
• TM Travel's 218 drops 2 weekday-only journeys - the 0630 from Sheffield to Matlock (the one and only journey along the old route that remains) plus the 1625 from Bakewell to Sheffield via Chatsworth House. The Saturday-only 0830 from Sheffield to Bakewell direct is introduced on a weekday as well.
