For anyone interested the above Steam Hauled Special is taking water at Sheffield 11 20 to 12 00 on Sunday 29th March (day after my wedding) and so will be through Barnsley, what 20 mins later, on its way to Penistone and on back to Manchester.
Barnsley to Doncaster rail link Barnsley council and SYPTE were having talks about re-establishing a direct rail link between Barnsley and Doncaster, then on to the airport. Anyone know if this is still being discussed?
