(someone will meet you at this stop to guide you to the station which is approx. 5 mins walk)

Walk starts : 9.40am from SHEPLEY station.

The lunch will be at The George Inn at Upper Denby.

(if you wish to go directly to the pub for lunch only, please arrive by 1pm).

Promise to Pay Notices

Admin

This week the ticket machines go live with the ‘promise to pay’ notices. This means that, you must purchase a ticket before you board from the ticket machine at the station. If you are unable to purchase one, you must print a ‘promise to pay’ notice from the machine. Attached are some instructions that a member of Penistone community has kindly put together to assist elderly members of the community.
If you have any queries please do ask for help. We are also happy to feedback to Northern with any comments.
