Just thought I'd post a quick link to this site that I frequent quite a lot, incase there are any members on here who are interested in the transport side of Sheffield and South Yorkshire...

Link - http://www.sy-transport.co.uk

They also have a transport forum, which is where I'm mainly located :), which is available to view here - http://www.forum.sy-transport.co.uk

Sadly, to view the forum though, you need to become a member. But it is a good place to make friends as I've found out and also a good place for the latest news regarding the transport side of things, such as the latest service changes and fleet moments etc.

Not sure if any of you already know about this website, but it is well worth a look IMHO :)

Thankfully it appears that the website is now back online after around 3 days been offline. I saw this on their homepage for the forum and thought it may be of interest in case anyone had registered off here in the last few days.

"Due to a few technical problems that we have experienced over the last few days since Tuesday morning, all posts and new members since 11:50pm on August 29th 2009, have been lost/deleted. We can only apologise for this, but this is the only recent back-up of the forum that we had available I'm afraid. If you registered on the forum between August 30th and September 1st 2009, you will need to re-register once again. We can only apologise for this.

Can all members also please make sure they are using the following URL to access the forum - http://www.forum.sy-transport.co.uk/

Thanks, Staff at South Yorkshire Transport"

I registered and posted in a couple of topics following your original post, now I can't log on.

Read bits on the site whilst it was down or did somebody delete everything in error, I don't think anybody knew what happened.

True Stuart. It was quite a shame to see everything get deleted as there are quite a few good members on their with the inside scoop on things right across the transport sector, incluidng the forthcoming October service changes, which includes a brand new "FreeBee" operating in Rotherham town centre between Retail World and the town hall / Moorgate Crofts. Other changes include the 22 been extended to Woodhouse and the 56 making a comeback to Wybourn. These were proposed in July, though this time the frequency will remain the same throughout on most routes, hence no SCC/SYPTE objections.

Regarding your account, if you can't log in I think you may be one of the affected members who need to re-register again, as if you joined when I posted the above link, this would have not been possible as the forum was only backed up to August 29th according to the message on the forum and I posted the message on here on August 30th. Hence your membership has probably been lost in cyberspace...

Regards,

Sean

...all seems OK now - apparently down to one certain admin person with a grudge ! - as a newish member, it may be just as quick to re-register if you continue to have connection probs.

Yeah, it was quite a shock that, but I'm sure there is more to it than just that personally. Anyway, it's good to see it is back to its usual busy self yet again and agree with Transit's comments, seen as you were a new member in the first place, it would probably just be easier just to re-register again.

Hopefully, this will never happen again as it was such a shame to see it go, but thankfully it was "brought back from the dead" :)

Also, the October Service Changes are starting to come in and they will be many big changes to First South Yorkshire services (mainly the Sheffield to Rotherham services) with just about all the current "20s" been withdrawn and replaced by new X services (X5, X6, X7, X14 & X15 seem to ring a bell). The 56 will also be brought back in Sheffield, with the 22 been extended from Wybourn to Woodhouse, to replace the current 13/14. The 14 will be withdrawn and the 13 will run from City to Wisewood and Loxley as a new cirular route, running up Loxley Road from Wisewood. Certainly going to be very interesting!

Details are also coming through on the Sheffield (January 2010) tenders, which include 24 routes across the city which are up for grabs, including the 20/20A.

Regards,

Sean.

Thanks for those very useful links. I shall have a look around now, though I'm already liking what I see and will have to sign up for the forum :)

Not a problem Springfield. It is more on the "modern" end of transport in South Yorkshire though :)

True, I had actually forgotten about this section if I'm honest, hehe. Thanks for pointing it out to me, Transit. :)

Thought it may be worth mentioning the live traffic camera section given the wintry weather that is set to occur over this weekend...
