× A TRANSFORMATIVE funding stream which will improve several ‘left behind’ railway stations across Barnsley in a bid to lure more motorists to opt for public transport on their commute has been backed by a local MP. More than £7m will be used to create ‘Mobility Hubs’ at all the local stations between Barnsley and Huddersfield, including Dodworth, Silkstone Common and Penistone. Leaders behind the bid - which has been backed by Barnsley Council and MP Miriam Cates - will mean better integration of rail, bus and active travel, as well as upgrades to facilities such as live information boards and improved access to stations.
