271/272: Sheffield - Castleton


The 271 and 272 are the main route from Sheffield into the Peak District. They differ only in their route within Sheffield itself: the 271 serving the Royal Hallamshire Hospital Mon-Sat daytimes; and the 272 running direct via Ecclesall Road early mornings, evenings and on Sundays. Buses run hourly for most of the day.

The majority of journeys are operated by First, but some are operated by Hulleys and one return trip very early each weekday is operated by TM Travel.
