Adult NON STH - £19.00
Concession NON STH - £17.00
Directions and Parking:
Approx 80 miles - 1hr 35mins
M1 north to J37 ....
Leave the M1 at J37 and turn right on to the A628 Dodworth Road. Go straight over the first roundabout, and at the 2nd roundabout keep left and join Wesley Street. At the end of Wesley Street turn right on to Lambra Road and follow (through underpass) until you come to the junction with Pontefract Road. Turn right and then take your 3rd left on to Grove Street. The ground will be on your right hand side towards the end of Grove Street.
Street parking is available, but be careful of car parks close to the ground as they are mainly for permit holders only. There is a car park for visiting supporters at 'Queens Ground' which inbetween the ground and the MetroDome.
Trains:
This journey involves 1 change (unless your Blue Maniac :icon_wink) which is in Sheffield.
If you just walk up and ask for a day return to Barnsley, the ticket clerk will charge you £27.50. You could however ask for the following: Off Peak return Leicester > Derby (£8.70), Off Peak return Derby > Sheffield (£8.80) and finally Off Peak return Sheffield to Barnsley (£4.20) = Total £21.70 a saving of £5.80. You DO NOT need to get off the train at Derby!
Groups of 3 and 4 can group save on the Leicester > Sheffield part of the trip. Simply ask for the split ticket options above, however add that you are in a group of 3 or 4.
Groups of 3 can travel for £15.80 each (return)
Groups of 4 can travel for £12.95 each (return)
There are 2 trains per hour to Sheffield (04 and 35 mins past the hour) - Getting the train at 04 mins past the hour will mean you have a quicker journey in total.
Pubs:
There are plenty of bars in the centre of Barnsley. The Gatehouse at the end of Eldon Street has always been a decent bar whenever i've been to Barnsley before. Alternitively there is a Bar and somewhere to eat the above mentioned MetroDome. http://www.themetrodome.co.uk/
