Brecks, near Bawtry Road/Moorlands

Overgrown trees on Middle Lane South, at Herringthorpe playing fields, have caused damage to double decker buses on service X1 travelling along the route, smashing windows and risking the safety of passengers and other road users. Until these trees are pruned by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, service X1 will be diverted away from the area. This is effective from Monday 29th September, until further notice – due to capacity issues elsewhere on the service.

Effective from Monday 29th September 2025, until further notice:

Service X1 will divert via Wickersley Road and Broom Road, not serving Middle Lane South or Badsley Moor Lane, during the above times.

Service 114 will continue to serve stops on Middle Lane South near Spenser Road and Longfellow Drive.

As soon as suitable tree pruning can safely be completed by RMBC, service X1 will resume along the normal route.

On Tuesday 30 September and Wednesday 8 October 2025, Gateford Road in Worksop will be closed overnight from 2100 until 0600, due to resurfacing works.

Service 19, 19a will divert via Gateford Road, Claylands Avenue, A57 Bypass and then resume normal route from Woodsetts Road roundabout.

All bus stops from Claylands Avenue to the A57 roundabout will not be served. Please use alternative bus stops at Gateford Road/Bonemill Lane
