- 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 Between Rotherham and Meadowhall, the service is re-routed to replace the 22m which is withdrawn.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)

(25 Jul 2016, 1:45 pm)Kuyoyo wrote More details have been posted on the Travel South Yorkshire Service Update list.
On top of previously posted:
- 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.

A number of the batch (either 3 or 4) are branded for the service in the same style used on Rawmarsh's examples on the 22x.

The branding on that E200MMC is excellent. It's eye-catching, but retains Stagecoach's corporate theme at the same time.

Transdev will continue to run the section of the 44 between Acomb and the city, which they operate under contract to the City of York Council – although it will no longer be called Unibus.
