WELCOME TO R & S WATERSON'S
Established in 1964, Were Now in Our 55th Year of Serving Our Community
We now run a number of buses across West & South Yorkshire
Upton, Ackworth, Pontefract, South Elmsall, Hemsworth, Barnsley, Grimethorpe, Doncaster & Wombwell
In June 2014 with the collapse of another bus operator we stepped into save the bus service 38 and then asked to do the 37 service by the people of Grimethorpe & other areas and progressed from there. As a community based firm we don’t like to see town’s and villages losing bus services to which communities rely on, so where possible we have extended our services though some of the areas that were losing their services. It maybe Not Ideal times for some where we have stepped in but as we keep stating we are a small family firm with Limited resources our buses and drivers are on the road working full shifts.
In September 2018 We started the 203 Service which connects small villages such as Broomhill, Middlecliffe, Billingley, Clayton, Hooton Pagnell, Brodsworth *(Brodsworth Hall), Pickburn & Highfields *(Market Street / Coppice Road). This is a Tendered Run By South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive and We cannot make any changes to the Timetable or Route
This Service Runs between Doncaster Interchange to Wombwell. This Service also runs between 07:30 AM - 18:55 PM

In November 2019 with another operator withdrawing there service connecting Wakefield - South Elmsall to Stockingate Please Remember Our 36 Service Between Barnsley - South Elmsall Runs via Stockingate (We know it's Not ideal for all passengers not running Early or Late but we are a small family run business)
In January 2020 an Operator went into receivership and we stepped in and saved there only service, As of Monday 13th January - We take over the Service 249 Which Runs Between Upton to Pontefract (Click Here To View Timetable)
