Two will start on Monday, another is due to commence on Saturday
Sheffield is set to see new bus services start next week under plans announced by Travel South Yorkshire.
There are three services set to start, with two from Monday and one from Saturday, and they are to be operated by the bus company SMT Bus and Coach.
Monday (October 5), will see the new number 63 service, run by SMT, introduced between Sheffield city centre and Crystal Peaks.
The route will take in Sheffield, Norfolk Park, Manor Top, Base Green, Birley, and Crystal Peaks. It will start from Sheffield Interchange at Flat Street and terminate at Crystal Peaks Bus Station.
On the same day, SMT will also be launching a new number 27 service, which will run from Rotherham to Crystal Peak, which will also serve Beighton.
Its route will be Rotherham, Moorgate, Whiston, Ulley, Swallownest, Aston, Aughton, Beighton, and then Crystal Peaks.
Another new service, also run by SMT, will see a new number 43 route between Meadowhall, on the edge of Sheffield, and Rotherham. from Saturday (October 10). it will go via Rotherham, Munsbrough, Wingfield, Kimberworth, and Meadowhall but will only run on Saturdays and Sundays
Coun Matt Smith, who represents the Park and Arbourthorne ward on Sheffield Council, said he was thrilled that Norfolk Park would be getting a new service.
He said: “Hopefully this new service can help fill a gap which residents have been speaking to me about consistently throughout the summer. I’m glad that SYMCA have listened and acted, a great result for the community.”
He said he would now like to see another service to do a ‘diagonal’ across from East Bank Road up to City Road via Kenninghall Road.
