Rockingham Street and West Street update - November 2025

As part of our work to make bus journeys into the city centre more direct, and to improve safety in the area, we've installed new pedestrian crossings so there are now safer crossing points across all four arms of the junction of Rockingham Street and West Street. And we're continuing work in this area to allow buses to make the turn into Rockingham Street.

We need to change some of the road markings, including in the new loading bay and taxi bay, outside the Jobcentre on West Street. We'll need to do this work overnight, as we can only work in the area when the tram isn't running. We plan to work overnight on Monday 8 December and Tuesday 9 December. There will be temporary traffic lights in place, and we're writing to residents and businesses nearby with more detailed information about the work, which can be noisy.

Bus services will move from the stop on Carver Street to a new stop that we’ll install at the top of Rockingham Street. You'll still be able to interchange to other services at the Rockingham Street bus hub, including the free Sheffield Connect service. But if you need to be in and around West Street, the new stop will be near the junction of Rockingham Street and West Street. The Sheffield Connect will continue to serve the Carver Street stop. We'll provide more information on this soon.

These changes will make bus journeys into the city centre more direct and give easier access to the Rockingham Street bus hub, where passengers can interchange onto other services including the free Sheffield Connect.
