The trains themselves seem old, and aren't very fashionable compared to the big virgin ones. They don't have many deals on, like theres no advance tickets. The best deal is a duo ticket, which saves you roughly a third off a ticket price. This basically works say if I was going to Doncaster to sheffield, if someone else was with me, I pay full they pay half. There is always quite a large space on these trains for prams and wheelchairs, and having a baby this can be a problem on the posher trains. I think they mainy run local stopping services as far south as Nottingham, and up to Newcastle. I may be wrong on this. South and West Yorkshire Pensioners and disabled people also get to travel for free between the two counties, Northern Trains is the only one that allow you to do this. The ticket people are usually friendly and help us get the pram off the train.
Would be nice to have newer trains, but then again may have to fold the pram up, which wouldn't be brilliant. Fares can seem expensive, so if your ever in south Yorkshire for the day,and planning to get the train ask for a south yorkshire day tripper which you can use on all trains busse, and trams in the south yorkshire are for £5.50 the trains are quite regular, and seem to have as a rule at the most 10 minute delays.
