the barnsley electric tramway was a standard gauge line, running from smithies (near monk bretton colliery) to the south of barnsley, 2 miles south of the town centre to two termini, at worsbrough bridge and worsbough dale with a junction at the crossroads of upper sheffield road and kingwell road at the cutting end by the present day cutting edge public house. the line ran from the level crossing on old mill lane, down the barnsley town centre to sheffield road and split in two termini down park road (worsbrough) and high street. at the road junction south of market place, the left fork was occupied by the dearne & district. both networks were virtually next to each other at this point but never connected.
