It's a shared system. 178.6750 and 178.8500 are voice channels from the Ridgeway Rd site in Sheffield. The other one is 179.9875 from the high Woodhead Rd site (N.Sheffield).

You will be hearing a mix of Stagecoach Sheffield, First Sheffield, First Rotherham, First Doncaster and Arriva Yorkshire traffic on the sites.
