Hi all, Coincidentally, I'm in Sheffield this week too. Jerry said "the traveline website" so I went to Traveline Yorkshire. But Stuart corrected me offlist - the Yorkshire one is not using OSM data/maps yet I think. However if I go to http://www.travelinesw.com/ I can get OSM-powered routing... even though Sheffield isn't in the South West ;)
