Friends of the Barton Line

As of today, Transpennine Express have revised restriction codes on all saver returns priced by them which were formerly code 8A (valid by any train - no break of journey on outward portion). A selection of the new codes from our area is below (note Cleethorpes - Barton inclusive all fall within the same cluster for these fares - hence the fare and restriction are the same):

Doncaster / Mexborough / Sheffield / Dronfield / Kivetons, route any permitted

Saver return £23.00. New restriction TB, neither portion valid on trains timed to depart between 04:29 and 09:00. (note that there are slight variations of the price to Doncaster as the origin station cluster fares are overridden by fares specifically set from certain stations. Barton branch stations to Doncaster are £23.10)
