Northern has announced that some train services have returned to South Yorkshire this morning, though there are amended timetables operating on most lines.
Work was carried out through the night and into the morning to prepare the tracks, and services are now operating in most areas.
Rotherham Central however remains closed due to flood waters.
Northern is working with Network Rail to return normal working to the railway as soon as possible, but conditions are challenging and a reduced service will operate until further notice.
Northern passengers across the network are advised to allow extra time for travel and to check ahead as there remains potential for disruption to services and timetables may be amended on some routes.

Customers are advised not to travel on the following routes until further notice:
- Doncaster – Scunthorpe, a full service is expected to run from Monday morning, though delays may be possible due to residual issues following flooding at Kirk Sandall.

Nice to see information from Northernrail on Hull to Sheffield services. Ok big problems with weather but why was there no information whatsoever on Friday on how to get to Hull from Doncaster? Nothing on Northernrail website nor National rail site.
Other rail routes in Yorkshire had info but not Hull to Sheffield/Doncaster.Why not? Trains ran from Hull to Goole.Was there a bus to Doncaster? No info AT ALL in this. York to Hull services were running in Friday.Why not flag them up as an alternative route from Doncaster to Hull? I saw no evidence of this.
