BARNSLEY Travel Centre is to close, paper timetables will be scrapped and up to 50 jobs are set to be lost after transport plans to save £7.6m were agreed.

The Sheffield City Region Combined Authority agreed the plans after local councils including Barnsley, which fund a levy to the executive, asked for it to be reduced to £68.3m.
