With over 6 million journeys a year, over 30 stations & over 40 miles of track, It has never being a better time to travel by rail through the 4 boroughs of South Yorkshire.

Over the years millions of pounds has been invested in the South Yorkshire rail network, delivering new and refurbished stations, along with innovative new services.

Services are currently operated under franchise by Northern Rail. Northern Rail took over the contract back in 2004 from Arriva Trains Northern. The standards of service and quality they meet are set and monitored by the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive.
