[1] Ignoring Oxford and Bristol, YTC is the largest bus operator to have originated from a tramway company in England.

The Barnsley electric tramway was a standard-gauge 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) line, running from Smithies (near Monk Bretton Colliery) to the south of Barnsley, 2 miles south of the town centre to two termini, at Worsbrough Bridge and Worsbough Dale with a junction at the crossroads of Upper Sheffield Road and Kingwell Road at the Cutting End by the present day Cutting Edge public house.

At the road junction south of Market Place, the left fork was occupied by the Dearne & District.

The shed stood next to the 1920s bus garage of the same company to the south of Barnsley town centre.

Very little of the system survives today apart from a few sawn off overhead wire poles in the cutting of Upper Sheffield Road and the occasional piece of track unearthed during roadworks.
