As I understand the Sunday 9am 273 has been withdrawn and replaced with a bus at 10am, the list of walk changes that’s doing the rounds doesn’t seem to include the 273. Walks on August 30th (Jan), September 6th (Andrew), October 4th (Liz) & November 22nd (Malcolm/Cath), are affected.
If I have got it wrong about the 273 and anybody knows different please let me know, because I like to use this bus most Sundays.
Chris.
This change will affect a great number of walkers, walking clubs, and possibly cyclists – a formal enquiry to Travel South Yorkshire to find out why it has been withdrawn would seem worthwhile making.
I think you are right. According to a timetable I have downloaded dated 29th March 2015 the first 273 on Sunday (and Saturday) is 10:00 arr. Fairholmes 10:34.
There has been confusion about the 273 with different timetables published in different places so John may not have had access to what I assume is now the definitive timetable.
I think the main message is that with all the bus changes leaders need to check as near as possible to the walk or 14 days in advance to for Star & Telegraph publication deadlines.
