6 and 6a bus routes (Sheffield)

The 6 and 6a, branded as Sheffield's Line 6, are a pair of cross-city bus routes in Sheffield which operate from Millhouses (6) and Sheffield city centre (6a) to Darnall Littledale (6) and Manor Top (6a). From Millhouses, the 6 and 6a serve Carter Knowle (6), Ecclesall (6), Endcliffe (6), Western Bank (6), Darnall, Darnall Littledale (6) and Manor Top (6a). Key points along the route include Millhouses Tesco (6), the Sheffield Botanical Gardens (6), the Royal Hallamshire Hospital (6), Sheffield Hallam University's City Campus (6), Sheffield Interchange, Darnall railway station, and Manor Top Interchange (6a).

The current Monday to Saturday daytime frequency is every half an hour on the 6, with no service on the 6a. On Sundays and during evenings, there is no service on the 6 and an hourly service provided on the 6a as a replacement.

The 6 and 6a are currently operated by TM Travel. Three 65 plate Optare Solo SRs were delivered new to TM in February 2016 in a pink branding livery for the 6 and 6a, known as Sheffield's Line 6. Following an increase in PVR, an additional two Optare Solos from the existing fleet have been painted into pink Sheffield's Line 6 livery.
