It's been on the cards for a while. Operation of bus services would be transferred primarily to Sheffield's Olive Grove depot. The X78 would presumably be the service to move to Doncaster as nothing else would make sense. Therefore the majority of jobs would be transferred to these two depots. It's only a consultation at the present time anyway, but any changes would take effect from February 2017.

X78 will be split between Doncaster and Olive Grove
Of the present 80 vehicle allocation at Rotherham, 7 vehicles will transfer to Doncaster and the rest to Olive Grove (taking Olive Grove's allocation to 305)
More on this - date of closure now confirmed for 18th February. 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.
