Work was due to start in July with the station ready for the December timetable change, however I believe this has been delayed by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority as they weren't happy with the level of disruption to service the proposed possessions will cause and are challenging...

The night bus service in Dundee provided by Ember coaches is also worth a mention

More the random road closures I think!

First have been hosting community engagement events in Killamarsh and there are changes to the 120k and 80 from 16 June including the introduction of a Sunday service on the 120k and interworking between the two routes on many trips to provide through journeys...

It's single line working from Shalesmoor crossover up to University.

If it's a complete failure it'll have to be stabled at University until the line reopens and it can return to depot on 3 June, however if it's something minor the rolling stock maintenance crew should be able to take their van to it and fix it on site.

A recap of tram services for the rail replacement works that run from this Saturday, 25 May, until Sunday 2 June: Tram Train. Normal timetable between Rotherham Parkgate and Hyde Park, diverting to Sheffield railway station and not serving Fitzalan Square, Castle Square or Cathedral. Blue...

That is exactly the issue, the tramway geography outside the normal TT route is missing from rail industry systems! All the details including timetables PDFs can be found at https://www.travelsouthyorkshire.com/en-GB/supertram/25th-May-Supertram-rail-replacement

Re the 293 I'd take a different approach as it would just duplicate the 86 from Sheffield to Greenhill. Instead I'd run the new version as a 217 - same route as the 218 from Sheffield Interchange to Beauchief with a coordinated timetable to double the frequency on that corridor then carry on up...

The 43a isn't completely pointless although Lowedges was a surprise choice of destination - it's designed to be part of an evenly spaced 8 Stagecoach buses per hour between Sheffield City Centre and Meadowhead via Heeley and Woodseats made up of routes 25, 43, 43a and 44. I'd agree it would be...

Tap on tap off only really works if everything is on the same system, ie same operator. First is the only operator with a tap on tap off system and it only caps within First operator specific products. It's also proved passengers do not like the concept, don't trust it and choose not to use the...

I'd perhaps go for the option of extending the 86 to Dronfield via Bradway. Coal Aston could the 1 extended beyond Jordanthorpe, however the best bet would probably be to simply improve the frequency of the 44. M17 needs it's hours of operation increasing, at least to include the school run...

Using one area i know as an example, Bradway, the complaints are - Journey time to the City centre too slow, up to 50 minutes to go 5 miles! - no evening service (last bus back from the city centre is 8pm) - no bus to Abbeydale Road or London Road - no bus to Dronfield - link to medical...

The PTE no longer exists, the organisation was wound up a few years ago and replaced by the Mayoral Combined Authority. Who runs the buses I think is something of a red herring, however the place we're in is different to before Covid and if franchising unlocks things like funding, ability to...

Let's get the basics right first. Make sure everywhere has a bus service, including evenings and Sundays and at an acceptable frequency. Ensure there are enough drivers and buses for the service to be reliable. Ensure bus priority measures are properly enforced and maybe even expanded, so...

Commuters travelling from Renishaw to Sheffield I assume use the 53 rather than the 80, there's one that gets into Sheffield at 0826 and the route is much more direct!

I wonder if the 80 and 120k will interwork?

I would say the default answer is no, you can't remain on the bus at the terminus, as that layover may provide the drivers legally required break for the purpose of driving hours and rest and if they have passengers on they aren't getting a break as they have a responsibility for those...

Derbyshire County Council and the Peak National Park authority have presumably decided it is a worthwhile investment, I would guess both for the economy of the area and the environment benefits of less car journeys being made around the national park by visitors.

If they were to offer those discounts and freebies then the level of subsidy would have to be higher and as it's primarily a tourist service rather than part of the local public transport network isn't neccesary.. The Stagecoach Gold tickets are accepted, if you are using a feeder service then...
