Powell's, who have recently become part of the HCT Group, are understood to have approached First South Yorkshire in relation to taking over their services 8/8a, 84/84a/84b services towards Thorne. The changeover is rumoured to be in September.
An interesting development for the company, which has seen an improved offering in Sheffield and Rotherham of late, specifically with their X7 from Sheffield to Maltby, although under attack from Stagecoach Yorkshire's new X6 from Sheffield to Doncaster Airport.
Is this how First is attempting to make South Yorkshire profitable again, or a slow retraction from the area to wind down? Time will tell.
