It also seems there's to be further changes to the cascading - management are reportedly looking to move 27 of the 80 vehicle allocation to Doncaster due to the (increasingly likely) chance of staff shortages if the majority of those jobs move to Olive Grove depot.
More details are now coming out:
Doncaster depot will regain operation of 6 boards on the X78 (Sheffield-Rotherham-Doncaster) from 2nd January. The amount and type of vehicle moving from Rotherham is not yet know
As part of changes in Rotherham in late January, a number of Rotherham town services will be returning to their original PTE-era service numbers ahead of the depot closure and operation passing to Olive Grove depot (as there will not be a dedicated fleet for the Rotherham services upon operation passing to Olive Grove). These include:
- The 7/8 (Blackburn/Kimberworth Park) becoming the 137/138
- The 11/12 (East Dene Circular) becoming the 111/112
- The 14 (Herringthorpe Stag Lane) becomes the 114
- The 15 (East Herringthorpe) becomes the 115
- The Kimberworth Park Circulars 39/40/41/42 will become the 139/140/141/142
