This is a former tram route, which was operated by the Sheffield Transport Department. The STD later replaced the trams with double-deck buses and recently Arriva have taken over with their single-deck buses. The route now extends from Woodhouse to Hillsborough, whereas the western end of the terminus was Crookes. The single-deck buses will find it easier to climb the steep road out of Hillsborough than the double-decks. The two Alexander PS bodied Volvo B10M 632 buses are expected to be withdrawn in 2011. Arriva is one of the largest transport services organisations in Europe, employing more than 40,000 people.
