Come across this post on the SY Transport Forum. Makes for grim reading how a metropolitan county of 1.5m people can face such severe cuts. Could West Yorkshire be the next to see these level of cuts, or have we escaped thanks to BSIP funding?

All evening and Sunday services are up for renewal. Some of the main highlights that I've noticed are:
- 1 High Green to Jordanthorpe. Curtailed to operate High Green to Sheffield only.
- 1A Chapeltown to Herdings. Services introduced between Sheffield and Herdings late evenings to partially replace service 1. Old 47/48 loop with hourly co-ordinated departures from Sheffield and Herdings on services 1A/11.
- 7 Ecclesfield to Woodhouse. Withdrawn. Replaced with 8 in North Sheffield and 42 in South Sheffield.
- 8 Sheffield to Birley. Extended through to Ecclesfield every 2hrs.
- 18A Sheffield to Hillsborough. Diverted to Cloonmore Drive (not seen a bus since 2012 when TM 43 was withdrawn?) to partially replace service 1.
- 20 Ecclesfield to Hemsworth. Split into two routes. 20A in North Sheffield. 25A in South Sheffield.
- 20A Sheffield to Ecclesfield. Hourly service running the old 79/89 loop in Parson Cross. Serves Holgate Avenue/Colley Crescent towards Ecclesfield and Yew Lane/Chaucer Road towards Sheffield. Circular service.
- 25A Woodhouse to Hemsworth. 2hr service running as an extension to service 25 from Sheffield through to Hemsworth via the current 20 service. Every 2hrs.
- 42 Sheffield to Woodhouse. 2hr service running as an extension to service 41 from d**e Vale Road to Woodhouse Village. Partially covers service 7 in Normanton Springs and Woodhouse.
- 83 Chapeltown to Fulwood. Curtailed to operate Chapeltown to Sheffield only. Every 2hrs.
- 86 Chapeltown to Lowedges. Curtailed to operate Chapeltown to Sheffield only. Every 2hrs.
- 108/109 Rotherham to Rawmarsh. Reintroduced former circular services, 2hr each way around with hourly co-ordinated departures from Rotherham Interchange.
- 207 Sheffield to Rotherham. As service 208 currently to Whiston, then via Spinneyfield and Rotherham Hospital (like service 21). Looks to be co-ordinated with both the 21 and 73 to provide a hourly combined service to Whiston/Brinsworth.
- X1 Sheffield to Maltby. Curtailed to operate Sheffield to Rotherham only. Service X10 introduced evenings and Sundays every 2hrs from Sheffield through to Maltby.
Most services appear to be reduced to 2 hourly. There are a few routes that have maintained hourly services such as the 19A in Rotherham, 20 (will become 20A) in North Sheffield, 81/82 in Doncaster and the 95A in Barnsley. Assume this is due to them serving the major hospital corridors. Pretty dire situation I'm sure you will all agree!
