Any TPE or east mids service from Manchester or Stockport to Sheffield then the number 2 bus from sheff to Barnsley. Or any TPE service to donny and then the X19 or 219 to Barnsley
According to the SYPTE website, bus 2 from Sheffield takes just over an hour to get to Barnsley (e.g. 1241 arrives 1343) then bus 11 from Barnsley takes you to the ground (e.g. 1348 arrives 1404). Best bus route back would be via Meadowhall (bus 11 from stop near ground 1704, X65 from Barnsley 1735 arrives 1805, then a range of buses or the tram into central Sheffield). I believe there's a daysaver ticket for £6.60 covering bus & tram.

Or £4.00 with Sheffield Plusbus (even with less with a railcard) which does include Sheffield Supertram and extends beyond Barnsley.

Thanks for the heads-up. Hadn't realised Sheffield PlusBus zone would cover so much territory - tho' Sheffield always has tried to keep prices as far down as possible!

Northern have announced their special strike timetable.  Although the trains finish early, it's pretty good news as the last train from Barnsley to Huddersfield is at 1753 and to Sheffield at 1840. Before that, it's hourly to and from Huddersfield and half hourly to Sheffield. Just need it to warm up a bit first.

Forecast for Barnsley has it below freezing from Tuesday night until Saturday lunchtime. There is a 90% chance of snow on Friday. I blame the FA for cancelling the original date.
