    My daughter is due to start a job on Halifax Road, does anyone on here use public transport to get to the part of Sheffield in a morning? If so do you use busses train a mixture of both trams?

    TIA

    It’s a touch too far to walk in a morning when we enter autumn > winter, ideally I want to find her a bus route so it’s only a few mins walk from the bus stop

    As an aside. Tell her to buy a travel master card or download the first app.

    I don't think there are any busses from Barnsley that serve Halifax road but there is a train from Barnsley station to chapeltown and then switch to the 86 bus which stops on Halifax road.

    Thinks that's why a few Barnsley fans I know drink at Chapeltown when we play SW.

    I've never known a Barnsley Sheffield via Hillsborough route however I'd check to see if stagecoach still operate a Bsly to High Green route if so buses from High Green run past Hillsborough
    Failing that, its a trip into either Sheffield or Chappeltown then another bus to Hillsborough unfortunately

    Depends where on Halifax Rd. It’s not straightforward.
    Could be looking at a train to Chap and then a bus. No 2 / go to chap but not close enough. Otherwise it’s x17 to Meadowhall and a long tram ride. Ridiculous when it’s so close as a crow flies.

    For me to do the reverse journey on public transport it’s the no 86 bus to Chap, train, and then Walk for 20 mins. Minimum travel time of 1 hour 10 mins, usually longer. For an 8 mile journey that takes me 20 mins in the car.
