Other bus services are currently running normally, but First South Yorkshire have warned there will likely be delays in the morning peak due to weather conditions and road conditions.

A spokesperson said: "If you are going out this morning, please remember it is cold and pavements may be slippery. Please wrap up warm and leave a little extra time to make sure you get around safely."
