It comes as South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) is set to approve the council’s outline business case this week and offer £138m for the rescue plan.

Rail Minister Huw Merriman has insisted the upcoming increase in rail ticket prices for passengers across the country is “fair”. The government has announced regulated rail fares, which make up almost half of all fares, will increase by 4.9 per cent on March 3.
