** AMENDED WALK ** Saturday 15th DECEMBER 2018 ** The Santa Hat Walk **

Due to RMT strike action on NORTHERN this Saturday, a much reduced train service will be in operation.

There is NO train service between Huddersfield < > Barnsley and no replacement bus service will run.

We don’t want you to miss out on our Santa Hat walk, therefore the proposed walk will be amended as follows :

We suggest to catch a bus from HUDDERSFIELD or drive directly to SHEPLEY.

(if driving, please park on a street with respect for local residents)

The No.83 Yorkshire Tiger bus departs Huddersfield bus station Stand F at 08.50, alight at the SHEPLEY Library stop at 09.32.

(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).

If you wish to have a ‘pie & peas’ lunch, please reconfirm with Geoff Ryder directly :

Mobile: 07837 – 915847 or tel: 01484 – 864848 or email: geoffreyryder

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.
