The Penistone Line runs between Sheffield and Huddersfield via Barnsley and Penistone, after where it gets its name. This simulation includes the section between just North of Meadowhall Interchange, and just South of Huddersfield.

Two versions of the route are available - one with a few aspects of the route upgraded.

This route is designed to be a continuation of other simulations: The “To Sheffield” continuation links with another continuation on Daniel Gill’s Sheffield route. The “To Leeds” continuation will link with the Wakefield route.
