South Yorkshire Railway

The South Yorkshire Railway was a railway company with lines in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England.

Initially promoted as the South Yorkshire Coal Railway in 1845, the railway was enabled by an act of 1847 as the South Yorkshire Doncaster and Goole Railway Company which incorporated into it the permitted line of the Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield and Goole Railway south of Barnsley, the River Dun Navigation, and Dearne and Dove Canals; and had permission for a line from Swinton to Doncaster and other branches. On 10 November 1849 the first section of line opened between Swinton and Doncaster, with the remainder opening in the early 1850s.

In 1850 the company formally amalgamated with its canal interests, forming the South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company, in context generally referred to as the "South Yorkshire Railway".

As well as extensive colliery traffic, the company's tracks eventually supported a passenger service between Barnsley and Doncaster; a branch line from Wombwell to Sheffield through the Blackburn valley; and services beyond Doncaster to Thorne and Keadby.

The South Yorkshire Railway was absorbed by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway in 1864.

History

Background

A company, named the "South Yorkshire Coal Railway", set out its plans in a prospectus in 1845. Its proposals were given as being "To connect the South Yorkshire coalfield with the existing and proposed main lines of railway, in connection with the canals and navigation of that district": Nothing further than to move coal from the area where it was mined to its major markets. These met with opposition in Parliament, principally from the North Midland Railway and the, still at proposal stage line of the Manchester, Midland and Great Grimsby Junction Railway which saw the South Yorkshire proposals as a rival to its own intentions. The opposition won the day and the South Yorkshire Coal Railway Bill was defeated.

The North Midland Railway completed its line between Leeds and Derby passing through Swinton, its nearest point to Doncaster. This led to pressure for a line to be built connecting the North Midland to Doncaster.[when?]

South Yorkshire, Doncaster and Goole Railway (1847–1850)

A bill was introduced to Parliament for a South Yorkshire Coal Railway in 1846.[1] but failed to win the required powers but was re-introduced later, in a shorter version.[clarification needed][citation needed]

South Yorkshire, Doncaster and Goole Railway Act 1847
Act of Parliament
Long titleAn Act for making several Lines of Railway between Penistone, Barnsley, Elsecar, and Doncaster, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, to be called "The South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole Railway;" and for authorizing the Purchase of Part of the Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield, and Goole Railway, and of the Dun Navigation and Dearne and Dove Canal.
Citation10 & 11 Vict. c. ccxci
Dates
Royal assent22 July 1847
Text of statute as originally enacted

In the 1846/7 session of Parliament the South Yorkshire, Doncaster and Goole Railway Company (SYD&GR) was established 22 July by the South Yorkshire, Doncaster and Goole Railway Act 1847 (10 & 11 Vict. c. ccxci) enabling it to acquire the permitted lines of Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield and Goole Railway (SRBWH&GR) south of Barnsley, make new lines, and acquire the River Dun Navigation and Dearne and Dove Canal.[2][3][4] The company's permitted lines were a main line from Doncaster to a junction with the Midland Railway at Swinton plus several branches. Powers for a branch from Mexborough to Rotherham were refused, due to opposition from the Midland, a branch from Worsborough to Penistone was also declined.[citation needed] The company's allowed share issue was £750,000 in £20 shares.[5]

South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole Railway Act 1848
Act of Parliament
Citation11 & 12 Vict. c. lxv

The company applied for modifications and extensions to, and abandonments of some of its lines in the 1847/8 and 1849/50 parliamentary sessions,[6][7][8] resulting in three further acts, the South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole Railway Act 1848 (11 & 12 Vict. c. lxv), the South Yorkshire, Doncaster and Goole Railway (Deviation and Extension of Elsecar Branch) Act 1850 (13 & 14 Vict. c. xxxv) and the South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company Act 1850 (13 & 14 Vict. c. lvii);[9][10][11] two bills were submitted in 1849 so that the one making a deviation at Doncaster, which was not likely to be opposed was not jeopardised by the other.[12]

Formal amalgamation with the Dun and Dearne canals took place 12 April 1850.[13] After amalgamation the company became the South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company.[14] In reference to its railway activities it was usually referred to as the South Yorkshire Railway.

Work on the main line was under way by October 1847, the first, ceremonial sod being cut in "Warmsworth Field", the site of the present day cutting. Work ran overtime but the line was ready for a trial run to take place on 29 October 1849 when a special train left Doncaster, Cherry Tree Lane station located on the triangle junction with the Great Northern Railway (GNR), southwest of Doncaster. The train, made up of two first class carriages loaned by the Midland Railway and a GNR open wagon fitted with seats, was propelled by a four-coupled tank locomotive which had been used for ballasting the line.[citation needed]

The Board of Trade inspector, Captain George Wynne, inspected the Doncaster-Swinton section of the line on 31 October 1849 and reported it as safe for use, also noting some deviations from the permitted line.[15]

The date of opening was set for Saturday, 3 November, however delays put this back by a week,[citation needed] and the Swinton to Doncaster line was opened 16 November 1850.[12] The passenger service, to run from Sheffield, was to be operated by the Midland Railway and was timed to connect with their trains from the North, Derby, Birmingham, Gloucester, Bristol and London. At the opening the only intermediate station on the SYD&GR. was Conisbrough although further stations were added from 1 February 1850 to serve the villages of Mexborough and Sprotborough. The Midland company worked the line with its engines and carriages in exchange for one quarter of the receipts.[12][16]

Swinton to Barnsley

The Elsecar branch was opened for mineral traffic on 1 March 1850.[12] The branch connected to the main line to Barnsley at Elsecar junction, and served Earl Fitzwilliam's colliery in Elsecar. The coal was passed to the GNR for shipment to Boston Docks. It was always the intention of the company to convey the coal over its own metals for onward shipment and a line was projected to run east of Doncaster for this purpose.

The main line northwards towards Barnsley had reached Oldham Bridge (later known as Aldham) by 1850, and a branch west to Worsborough was opened in 1850. The main line continued northwest (via Aldham junction) to Barnsley, forming and end on junction at the south end of Barnsley Exchange station. The line opened on 1 July 1851 and a passenger service from Doncaster was begun, operated by the GNR with its locomotives and stock, as the SYR did not yet own any passenger coaches.

The branch to west through Worsborough continued to at terminus at Moor End goods station, near Silkstone Common, opened by 1852. This gave the company access to more collieries and so more traffic over its rails.

In March 1852 land was bought to complete the line between Barnsley and Sheffield, although at this time the only way a through service of any type could be offered was by a reversal at Wombwell Central. The SYD&GR. diverted the route purchased from the SRBWH&GR at the request of the colliery owners in the Dove Valley who had no railway line to serve their pits at Blacker Main, Platts Common and Hoyland Common. Because of this they abandoned the tunnel at Birdwell although much work had already been carried out. The line, through to a junction with the Midland Railway near Wincobank, on the outskirts of Sheffield, enabled trains to run to the Wicker station in Sheffield.

Passenger trains from Barnsley to Sheffield began on 9 September 1854,[17] with a service between Doncaster and Sheffield from November 1855. This service was operated by the South Yorkshire Railway with its own locomotives and stock. The line opened for goods traffic on 11 September 1854, and was single track throughout, with just one passing point, Westwood.

The line was extended from Meadowhall to Tinsley in 1861 and eventually reached Woodburn Junction, on the main line of the M.S.& L.R. just east of Sheffield Victoria, opening on 1 August 1864, just after the company ceased as a separate entity. The "Darnall Curve", linking this line to an east facing junction on the main line, was also opened in 1864. Increasingly recognised as a bottleneck, the line was doubled in 1876 and Ecclesfield station was remodelled with staggered platforms linked by a footbridge.

South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company (1850–1864)

South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company's Transfer Act 1852
Act of Parliament
Long titleAn Act to enable the South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company to transfer their Undertaking to the Great Northern Railway Company.
Citation15 & 16 Vict. c. cliii

In the parliamentary session of 1851 the South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company (SYR&RDCo.) applied for permission to lease, sell or amalgamate itself with the Great Northern Railway,[18] the South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company's Transfer Act 1852 (15 & 16 Vict. c. cliii) was passed.[19] The amalgamation was not carried through and the process was abandoned by both companies.[20]

The company constructed a line on the banks of canals from Doncaster to Thorne in the 1850s,[21] – in 1859 passenger services were operated for: Sheffield via Westwood to Wombwell, and then to Barnsley (for Wakefield and Leeds); and from Barnsley to Doncaster, and then to Thorne; plus and return services. Around four trains per day were operated each, with the exception of trains from Doncaster to Thorne, which had one less service.[22]

South Yorkshire Railway (Sheffield and Thorne) Act 1862
Act of Parliament
Long titleAn Act to enable the South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company to make Railways near Sheffield and Thorne, and to exercise other Powers.
Citation25 & 26 Vict. c. cxli
South Yorkshire Railway Act 1863
Act of Parliament
Citation26 & 27 Vict. c. cxlvi

In the 1860s the South Yorkshire Railway (Sheffield and Thorne) Act 1862 (25 & 26 Vict. c. cxli) and the South Yorkshire Railway Act 1863 (26 & 27 Vict. c. cxlvi) allowed the Barnsley to Sheffield branch to be extended to a junction with Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway's (MS&LR) Sheffield line; and the line to Thorne to be straightened.[23][24][25][26] Junctions were made with the Doncaster Thorne line with the NER's Hull and Doncaster Railway at Thorne junction (opened 1869); and to the southeast end of the jointly operated (Great Northern and MS&LR) West Riding and Grimsby Railway, authorised by the West Riding and Grimsby Railway Act 1862 (25 & 26 Vict. c. ccxi) at Stainforth junction (or Hatfield junction) southwest of Stainforth and Hatfield station.[27][28][29]

The South Yorkshire Railway Act 1863 also enabled the purchase of the Barnsley Coal Railway.[25][26] The company also obtained the South Yorkshire Railway Act 1864 (27 & 28 Vict. c. xix), allowing a branch from the Barnsley Coal railway to the Midland's branch near Monk Bretton,[30][31][32] unbuilt;[citation needed] the Barnsley Coal railway was extended north and an extra junction made with the SYR' Barnsley line in the late 1800s, enabled by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Act 1874 (37 & 38 Vict. c. cxxxii).[33][34]

In the 1850s the SYR created a railway line from Doncaster to Thorne; the line was built without parliamentary sanction for its construction, on the banks of the canals between the two places. A single track line of 10 miles 44 chains (17.0 km).[35]

The line ran along the southern bank of River Don 'Flood Drain', starting from Marsh Lane junction just north of Doncaster. After Long Sandall it followed the north bank of the River Don Navigation, past Kirk Sandall, Barnby upon Don, Sand Bramwith to Stainforth; and thence along or close to the north bank of the Stainforth and Keadby Canal to Thorne.[36]

The line initially terminating at Thorne Waterside railway station (or "Thorne Lock"),[citation needed] which was then the only station on the line.[35] The line opened freight in December 1855.[21] The line was passed as safe for passengers by the government inspector in June 1856, provided only one engine was in steam at any time on the line, and subject to a maximum speed of 12 miles per hour (19 km/h) as curves were as small as 8 chains (530 ft; 160 m) radius; road crossings at Bramwith, Barnby Dun and Stainforth were also required to be staffed.[35] The line opened for passengers in July 1856.[21]

A second section from Thorne to Keadby was also constructed, again without parliamentary powers and built on the canal bank already in the company's ownership.[citation needed] The line ran from Thorne on the north bank of the Stainforth and Keadby Canal to Keadby.[37] The line was opened in September 1859 with only one intermediate station at Crowle, others at Maud's Bridge, Medge Hall, Godnow Bridge were opened shortly afterwards.

South Yorkshire Railway Amendment Act 1861
Act of Parliament
Citation24 & 25 Vict. c. clxix

In 1860 the company began seeking permission for a line from its terminus at Keadby, across the Trent, with one bill promoting a line continuing to the MS&LR's line near Brigg;[38] in the same session of parliament a line was promoted from Keadby utilising a section of railway between the Trent and River Ancholme already under construction by Charles Winn, with an extension connecting to a junction on the MS&LR's line southwest of Barnetby station, the Trent, Ancholme and Grimsby Railway;[39] the SYR also had a bill which only required the construction of a short line over the Trent to the Trent-Ancholme line.[40] The Trent, Ancholme, and Grimsby Railway Act 1861 (24 & 25 Vict. c. clvi) passed for the Trent, Ancholme and Grimsby line,[41] and the South Yorkshire Railway Amendment Act 1861 (24 & 25 Vict. c. clxix) was passed for a connection to it via the short extension of the SYR across the Trent.[42] The SYR's line was 2 miles 59 chains (4.4 km) in length, for which the act had provided powers to raise an additional £100,000 through shares, plus a third of that in loans.[43]

Straightening, and route to Hull

In the parliamentary session of 1861/2 the company applied for, and obtained an act to make a straightened line from Doncaster to Thorne. The proposed line was to branch from the extant line at Long Sandall Lock the pass roughly north and east rejoining the old railway at a junction at Maude's bridge east of Thorne.[23][24]

In the session of 1862/3 the North Eastern Railway (NER) obtained an act for a line from its Hull and Selby Line at Staddlethorpe ( now known as Gilberdyke) to Thorne; the company had come to arrangements with rival companies including the SYR not to oppose the bill; and an act authorising the Hull and Doncaster Branch was authorised 23 July 1863. In the same session the SYR obtained an act to modify its permitted (1862) straightening of the Doncaster Thorne line.[25][26]

The new line was double track. A junction was also made with a branch of the West Riding and Grimsby Railway, which ran from Adwick junction near Adwick le Street westward to Stainforth junction near Stainforth.[21][29][44]

The station at Thorne was moved nearer the town centre after only a short time (Thorne (Old) railway station) and remained as such until the 'straightening' in 1864 when Thorne South was opened.

Barnsley to Sheffield line extension

The 1863 act allowed a southwards extension of Blackburn Valley line to meet the MS&LR's line into Sheffield near Attercliffe.[23][24] The line ran from Meadowhall junction north of the connection with the Sheffield and Rotherham line, passing under that line, crossing the River Don and curving southwest, running near to the northside of the Sheffield Canal, before crossing that canal just south of Attercliffe and then forming a triangle junction with the MS&LR line.[45]

In 1861 Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR) began a lease of the SYR, having already allowed the company use of Sheffield Victoria station.[when?] On 23 June 1864 the South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Transfer Act 1864 (27 & 28 Vict. c. lxxvii) enabled the MS&LR to take over the SYR for 999 years. As part of the arrangement the MS&LR was to pay the dividends and interests relating to SYR stock, and to give half of the net profits of the line to the South Yorkshire company, with working expenses taken to be 38% of gross profits for accounting purposes.[20][46][47]

Because of duplication of tracks between main centres, the inconvenient siting of passenger stations, closure of collieries and other lineside works much of the system has now been closed or truncated. The remaining open sections are as follows:

  • Between Mexborough and Doncaster. (The Swinton curve, which formed the junction to the Midland Railway, was closed in 1968 but reinstated in the late 1980s to coincide with the reopening of Swinton railway station).
  • Between Doncaster and Keadby (The realigned route).
  • Between Mexborough Junction and Woodburn Junction (Sheffield) (although the present line joins the Midland Railway at Aldwarke Junction and returns to its old route after about 100 yards).
  • Quarry Junction (Barnsley) and Barnsley (former Exchange) station.
  • The upper part of the Elsecar Branch, reopened by (and is preserved as) the Elsecar Heritage Railway. It's expected that the section to Cortonwood will be re-opened at a later date as funding allows.
