Station alerts
Football supporters attending Barnsley FC matches and those using the town centre are reminded that the Jumble Lane crossing will remain closed on home match days for the 2021-2022 season until the new Market Gate Bridge is installed.



When the crossing was closed in March 2019 by Network Rail for safety reasons, a temporary bridge was erected over it to allow pedestrians to safely cross over the railway line.



However, that bridge will be closed for an hour before kick-off, during the match and an hour after each home game until further notice to support the safety of fans and other users. This is subject to change based on individual matches.

Serving nearly 1.5 million passengers annually, Barnsley Station has been incorporated into the Interchange, which includes the bus and coach station.

When the coalmines took over as the main employer in the early 1900s, the workers transferred to mining.

Situated in the centre of this northern town, the station opens onto all the attractions Barnsley has to offer.
