No sooner had I formally started to work on the very incomplete and mostly out-of-date bus mapping in South and West Yorkshire (see my profile page for details) then this happens to one of the major operators of rural services in the area.

We wait and see if there any permanent changes to the affected services before re-mapping.

As of the 1st November, there’s been a big shake-up of Sheffield bus routes and service numbers. A cursory inspection shows a lot of the routes renumbered so updating should be quick but there are also likely to be some routes revised or cut back so this is going to create further work for OSM contributors!

A cursory look at the mapping for this area shows:

• Out of date areas, eg new construction work at Main Building not yet shown (I’ve started this).
• Buildings marked as part of the University when they are not.
• Paths, drives, walls not shown correctly.
• Parking provision (which is permit only) not shown.

Will fix in the next couple of days.

Apart from on-the-ground surveying the other source material will be this.
