Transportation

A railway station is proposed on the Sheffield–Lincoln line which is adjacent to the parish. In 2020, the government announced that it would provide funding for a feasibility study, as part of the Restoring Your Railway scheme.[2] The station would be intermediate between Darnall to the west and Woodhouse to the south-east.[3]

The bus route 73, operated by First, links Waverley between Rotherham Interchange and Sheffield Interchange.
