BARNSLEY East MP Stephanie Peacock has urged the government to react following dozens of bus service cuts in the last year.
She spoke in Parliament last week after it was revealed more than 100 trains are cancelled between Barnsley and Manchester on worst days, and 45 bus services were cut across the county.
She said: “The north have got one-third of the ‘Levelling Up’ funding, yet train and bus services are a fraction of what they were.
“Every train service between Barnsley and Manchester was cancelled or delayed one day last week.
“It takes two buses to get from neighbouring Rotherham to Elsecar.
“If this was happening in London there would be outrage.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
