Action to improve bus services in Dore & Totley

Posted by Harry Matthews | Updated 2015-01-16

Over recent months we have received an increasing number of complaints about the irregularity of the 70, 97 and 98 bus services.

Following a Public Meeting in November at Totley Library, your local Lib Dem team have taken up your issues with the bus operators, and we have been informed that:

Problems with staff shortages are now resolved, which should minimise delays
New vehicles will be introduced on routes serving Dore and Totley
Changes are being made to the 70 route at the Catcliffe end to improve reliability

Cllr Joe Otten said: “We have had examples of missed hospital appointments as well as the usual frustrations of waiting for a bus that doesn’t arrive. We are a little sceptical of the assurances which we have been offered by the bus companies, so we have arranged another meeting in March to see if there have been any improvements."
