Public Transport

The prospect of travelling to Ossett to watch Darlington play their FA Trophy tie was not initially appealing, involving a 160 mile drive down the A1 and back, so out of curiosity I looked at public transport options and found an hourly direct train service from Darlington to Dewsbury and an 18 minute bus ride, every ten minutes, from Dewsbury to Ossett, where the ground is adjacent to the bus station; there was a bit of necessary waiting but it all worked like clockwork and taking advantage of the TransPennine 55+ promotion the train fare was just £14.40, with another £2 ‘plus bus’ ticket covering the bus legs of the journey – a winner (as was Darlington 1883).
