Hillsborough Hub
In 2007 Sheffield Community Transport were operating just 3 services that served Hillsborough Interchange, the 31, 267 and 266. But in 2008 it won the contract to operate services 61 and 62 though it lost the contract to operate the 267 and 266. Also in 2008 it introduced two new services, S6 to Wisewood which closely mirrors First South Yorkshire's service 13 north of Hillsborough and diverted one of the two 31s each hour via the Langsett Estate to cater for the demand there due to service 201 ceasing to run between Stocksbridge and Sheffield city centre.
In early 2009 it introduced a new service called S6A which closely mirrors First South Yorkshire's service 14 north of Hillsborough. This made it the operator with the largest number of services terminating at the Interchange but not serving it, as First South Yorkshire's services into Sheffield also stop there. First South Yorkshires's services that call are 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 57, 57A, 58, 66, 758 and those that terminate are 1, 2, 33, 20, 20A. Stagecoach now only has service 52 serving it but has both Yellow and Blue route trams stopping right by the Interchange and previously operated services 61, 62 and 201. TM Travel also has two services that stop at the Interchange 267 and 268 which it won the contract off SCT.

Famous quotes containing the word hub:
“We recognize caste in dogs because we rank ourselves by the familiar dog system, a ladderlike social arrangement wherein one individual outranks all others, the next outranks all but the first, and so on down the hierarchy. But the cat system is more like a wheel, with a high-ranking cat at the hub and the others arranged around the rim, all reluctantly acknowledging the superiority of the despot but not necessarily measuring themselves against one another.”
—Elizabeth Marshall Thomas. “Strong and Sensitive Cats,” Atlantic Monthly (July 1994)
