Support for new Rotherham bus link-up

Sheffield City Region Combined Authority Transport Committee has approved plans for the Rotherham Bus Partnership, a voluntary agreement that brings together South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive, First South Yorkshire, Stagecoach Yorkshire and East Midlands, TM Travel, Powells and Rotherham Borough Council.

The aim is to improve bus provision in the area so that the numbers of people using it grow, making bus travel the preferred choice of transport.

The revised network is due to launch on July 21 and will include a wider ranger of tickets, increased frequency of services and better links for new housing areas.
