Travel bands on, and off we go.

Rosehill Park bus stop.
Kilnhurst Road and Warren Vale junction, the bus turning right is the 218
to Barnsley, the bus coming on is the 22 to Barnsley, the new service.

There’s a new bus service to Barnsley the No 22, this goes via Wath upon Dearne, Brampton, Wombwell finishing up at Barnsley Interchange. Yesterday we decided to try the journey out. By car the journey takes around 20 mins taking the short and main route. By bus No22, taking in all the villages the journey took 48 mins, not bad really! The return journey we decided to take the No 218, this goes via Darfield, Goldthorpe, Bolton on Dearne, Mexborough, Kilnhurst and finally home this journey took 1hr 15mns, just a little too long for my taste. Baring in mind all the places you can alight, both routes do a good job and give good service. My travel bands worked well again!
