Free park-and-ride parking with shuttle to Barnsley
Wombwell Park & Ride is a free, council-managed tarmac lot located on Foundry Gate, providing commuter parking with shuttle service to Barnsley town center. The facility offers 100 marked bays, including six Blue Badge spaces near the ticket kiosk and two motorcycle bays. It operates 6 am10 pm daily; park-and-ride tickets cost £2.50 per day, including unlimited bus rides, purchased via machines or the mobile app. LED floodlights ensure full illumination until closing, and CCTV cameras monitor all access lanes. Pedestrian exits lead directly to the bus boarding area (0.02 km) and to the shuttle ticket kiosk. Bicycle racks for 20 cycles are located adjacent to the bus stop. Seasonal town events reduce shuttle frequency; signage directs drivers to the Prince of Wales Park overflow lot (1 km). Weekly maintenance includes line repainting and litter clearance.
