For those not in the area... It's raining, a lot. Conditions and river levels said to be as bad as when the major floods occurred in Sheffield in June 2007.
The River Don has over topped at Meadowhall, and most major roads in and out of Sheffield are under water (Penistone Road at Hillsborough, Chesterfield Road at Heeley, Langsett Road at Oughtibridge to name a few).
As such, Stagecoach have suspended all services in Sheffield for the remainder of the evening (though some vehicles are still out trying to finish their route some hours after the suspension was put in place) and I gather First are shortly to do likewise.
Additionally the Stagecoach depot at Ecclesfield is at risk of flooding, so vehicles are being moved over to Holbrook and Rawmarsh depots at present.
