BY PAUL JOHNSON, BRIGG RAIL LINE CAMPAIGNER
You can travel from Kirton In Lindsey or Brigg to Meadowhall or Sheffield (Saturday only) by train for £14.40 Adult Day Return - Under 16s £7.20.
To save money on what would be anything up to £30.10 return for an adult to Sheffield via Barnetby, please do the following using a legal ticket anomaly:
- Purchase from the Guard on the train at Kirton in Lindsey or Brigg a Barnsley return ticket - £11.70 adults, under 16s £5.85; this ticket is valid to Meadowhall on the outward ticket.
- Then ask the guard for a Meadowhall to Sheffield single ticket to plug the missing gap; use this for travelling to Sheffield on the first trip, or from Meadowhall on the return trip, £2.70 for adults, £1.35 for Under 16s
The return ticket from Barnsley to Kirton in Lindsey or Brigg is valid back from Sheffield to the Brigg Line.
