Timetables are on the Stagecoach website. One minor note is that the extra X17 journeys will depart from stand C2 in Sheffield rather than from C1 - not sure why as the only other service to use C1 is the X78 and there doesn’t appear to be a timing clash.
Shame their colleagues on t'other side of t'Pennines aren't so proactive/innovative. Over here its a case of hike fares by 7% compared to frozen Rail fares (Sat is off-peak) and continue running 10 year old unpadded buses instead of the 3 year old buses bought for the route on the basis of investing where the profits are.
Mind you, its notable that SY PTE/ITA or whatever they are have the time to consider such applications. TFGM have to deal with over 100 service changes EVERY 2-3 months including sorting out the implications of withdrawals and cuts in periods of operation.
