Railway stations will receive \u00a33.5m for improvements to their infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The investment will go towards making South Yorkshire rail travel more accessible through Doncaster and Barnsley.<\/p>\n

The stations due to be upgraded are Mexborough, Adwick, Bentley, Conisbrough, Hatfield, Stainforth, Kirk Sandall in Doncaster.<\/p>\n

In Barnsley, Bolton-on-Dearne, Darton, Elsecar and Wombwell will receive funding.<\/p>\n

Upgrades include new waiting rooms and platform furniture, improved car parks, bike storage, defibrillators and more help points.<\/p>\n

Councillor Joe Blackham told the BBC: “Once the scheme is completed, all South Yorkshire rail stations will include step-free access from the car park and bus stop, accessible toilets and baby-changing facilities.”<\/p>\n

The money for the “safer and more secure” facilities come from South Yorkshire Combined Authority \u00a3166m Transforming Cities Fund.<\/p>\n

The fund will also be used to improve public transport, walking and cycling infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Travel South Yorkshire said: “We are designing schemes that will encourage active travel, reduce journey times, cut congestion and improve air quality.”<\/p>\n

The improvements will begin in early 2022, for more details click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
