The area of the South Yorkshire Joint Railway

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Has anyone any records appertaining to any actual timetabled services that would have called at all the following four railway stations:-
Anston
Dinnington and Laughton
Maltby
Tickhill and Wadworth

I think that one of those stations once was closed for a period of time due to bacterial infection caused by horse faeces.

Infrequent passenger services (run by the GCR/GNR initially, but after 1 year just the GCR) started on 1 December 1910 and finished on 2 December 1929, but were suspended for 15 months during and following the 1926 General Strike. Anston opened slightly later in 1912. A Bradshaw guide from this period should show them - they are not in my April 1910 Bradshaw reprint. The stations were poorly sited for the places they purported to serve.

The July 1922 Bradshaw reprint shows one round trip in the morning from Worksop (7.35) to Doncaster (all stations, arr 8.30), returning at 9.07 (arrive Worksop at 10.00). There was a Saturday lunchtime service - Worksop (11.20)-Doncaster(12.15), returning at 1.55p.m., arriving back at Worksop at 2.48p.m.. Late afternoon run - Worksop (3.47)-Doncaster (4.42), returning at 5.52 to Worksop at 6.46. No Sunday service.

Hope that helps.
