According to the article " The railway company sold its rights for the lines, those north of Barnsley to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and those to the south of the town to the South Yorkshire Railway, although they had no line and no authority to build one" - apart from making little sense, it appears to be contradicted by http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=TN1AAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA531#v=onepage&q&f=false (The railways of the United Kingdom: statistically considered, Harry Scrivenor, Smith, Elder, and co., 1849 ) .. even the most idiot parliament is not going to pass an act allowing a company to raise capital for a line of 27 miles, but not grant permission to build it.. or is it?

Where are they? The map pointer for Sprotborough (SYR) railway station points to a narrow cutting. Doesn't seem a likely place. Where where the others. Prof.Haddock ( talk) 17:47, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
Darley Main wasn't on the Elsecar branch.. This is probably a simple 'typo' but I don't know which bit is in error.
What was the track gauge? Peter Horn User talk 00:06, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
