Bus, tram and train passengers in South Yorkshire are being reminded to check before they travel this Christmas and New Year.

During the festive period, services will run to amended timetables; and in some cases, the last departures will be earlier than usual.

There will be no bus, tram, or train services on Christmas Day, and a limited bus and tram service on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Weekend services will run as normal.

Bus operators will run a ‘Saturday Plus’ service on 22, 23, 24, 29, 30, and 31 of December and 2 January. This means extra early morning trips on top of the usual Saturday service with an early finish on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

A summary of services can be found at Travel South Yorkshire Christmas opening hours page.

Sheffield City Council is also offering a free TravelMaster CityWide Sheffield 1 Day travel ticket, worth £6.70 in December, to help people get around the city in the run up to Christmas. 

The offer, which is limited to one ticket per person, is available through the BetterPoints Sheffield app with just 50 points required to claim the free ticket. Further information about the offer and how to redeem a free ticket can be found at the Betterpoints website here. 

Travel time restrictions will be removed for Senior Concessionary Pass holders from Monday 29 December to Wednesday 31 December 2024. This means anyone holding a pass can use it all day on buses, trams and trains within South Yorkshire between those dates. 

Train operators will run a reduced service during the Christmas and New Year period. Further information including timetables can be found at the National rail website here.
