The station, which was sited in the Stairfoot area of the Trans Pennine Trail, was a major distribution hub of communication for the transport of the many commodities produced from within the area.

Wide gravel section of the Trans Pennine Trail and a great car free way in or out of Barnsely. Includes Stairfoot Station Heritage Park which is a fun stop off on the way.
