National Rail say train services are unable to run between Doncaster and Sheffield in both directions for safety reasons until staff have attended and inspected the railway.

On Northern trains, a rail replacement bus service has been requested to run between Doncaster and Sheffield which will extend journey times by up to 60 minutes.

TransPennine Express customers can use their tickets on East Midlands Trains services between Manchester Piccadilly and Sheffield.

A replacement bus service is in operation by Hodgson Travel (Barnsley) & RS Watersons conveying passengers from Doncaster to Sheffield via Meadowhall in both directions.

And CrossCountry customers can use their tickets on Northern via any reasonable route, London North Eastern Railway between York / Leeds and Doncaster.
