On March 22nd. 2016 I posted a blog on which I featured the then new up market Daimler OM 934 / Wright Streetdeck on ‘First South Yorkshire’s (FSY) service X78 from Sheffield to Rotherham and Doncaster.
Visiting recently, I saw some of the same buses now branded for ‘FSY’s service X1 from Sheffield to Rotherham and Maltby as the ‘STEELLINK’.
The X1 STEELLINK service runs on a new Tinsley link road which is part of the new 29 Million pound ‘Bus Rapid Transport North’ scheme which is to provide a more direct route for buses to Rotherham and Maltby and reduce congestion.
The STEELLINK branding has been added to the previous livery used on the X78.
The X78 incidentally has been downgraded and reverted to standard buses wearing normal ‘FSY’ fleet livery.
Not all of Doncaster’s population appreciates the move !

For whatever reason, not all the buses carry the full branding. Some are still in the livery carried in the X78 days.
