Rail services operate frequently through Barnsley's Interchange station. On the Hallam line during the day on Monday to Saturday, there are three trains per hour northbound to Wakefield Kirkgate and Leeds. Two services are operated as "fast" therefore not stopping at some stations en route. During the evening and on Sundays there is generally an hourly service.
On the Penistone line, there is an hourly service northbound to Huddersfield from Monday to Saturday and a two-hourly service on Sundays. Barnsley also marks the last continuous dual running track (except for parts) for trains heading towards Huddersfield, or the first continuous dual running track for trains heading towards Sheffield
Southbound there are four trains per hour. Three of these services terminate at Sheffield whilst one carries on to Nottingham.
East Midlands Trains used to serve the station with trains to London St. Pancras International via Leicester. The service was not seen as necessary by the new operator East Midlands Trains and the service was withdrawn in December 2007.

Barnsley Interchange bus services
The new Barnsley Interchange opened at 08:00 on 20 May 2007. The new building forms the entire new complex of Barnsley Interchange, rail and bus users will exit the interchange via the new car park or for the town centre, the new entrance and exit on Eldon Street.
The bus station features the latest in technology such as the SYPTE, scheme of "Your Next Bus", tracking buses with GPS to check what time they are due to arrive and depart. Several shops occupy retail units within the interchange, these include a Lloyd's Pharmacy, GT News, Alto Caffe, Cooplands and a Subway.
Work has since been completed on the link road known as Schwäbisch Gmünd Way (formerly Interchange Way, renamed in honour of Barnsley's twin town in Germany) to enable buses to enter or leave the Interchange quickly without having to use the busy level crossing at Jumble Lane.
