Barnsley and District Tramway
The Barnsley and District Electric Traction Co. was an electric tramway network serving the town of Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
The company was a subsidiary of British Electric Traction, and services began on 31 October 1902. In early 1898, three companies had applied for local tramway systems; the Barnsley Corporation applied in 1900 for a larger network than it finally built. In 1913, the company began to run motor buses to Hoyland and other points. "Electric" was dropped from the company name in 1919. The Barnsley company changed its name to Yorkshire Traction Co. (YTC) in 1928 and abandoned tramway operation in 1930.
Excluding Oxford and Bristol, YTC is the largest bus operator to have originated from a tramway company in England.
