Editing Stocksbridge (section)

== Transport ==
The main road from Sheffield to [[Manchester]] passed through the town until the [[A616 road#Stocksbridge bypass|A616 Stocksbridge bypass]] opened in 1988. The new road links the [[M1 motorway]] at Junction 35A (and J36) to the [[A628 road|A628]] (which is one of the main trans-[[Pennines|Pennine]] routes from Sheffield to Manchester) bypassing the towns of Stocksbridge and [[Deepcar]], diverting the steelworks traffic away from passing through the town.

Stocksbridge has bus services that connect the town to [[Sheffield City Centre]], [[Middlewood tram stop]] and [[Barnsley Interchange]]. The 57/57A (operated by [[Stagecoach Yorkshire]]) runs every 30 minutes. The 57 serves Unsliven Bridge (the western part of the town) to Sheffield City Centre, and the 57A serves Stocksbridge Leisure Centre and Worrall to Sheffield City Centre. Service 201 (operated by South Pennine Community Transport) runs hourly connecting Stocksbridge to Chapeltown. Service 23/23A (South Pennine Community Transport<ref>{{cite web |url=https://southpenninect.co.uk/BusServices |title=Sheffield Connect |publisher=South Pennine Community Transport |access-date=30 January 2024}}</ref>) connects Stocksbridge to Millhouse Green hourly, and Barnsley twice a day. Smaller services, such as the 34 and the 26 (also operated by South Pennine Community Transport), serve Northern College to Barnsley Interchange and Penistone, respectively.

A railway line runs from Stocksbridge to Sheffield via Deepcar, but is currently used only for steel freight trains.  Proposals are regularly made to re-open it as a passenger line.
