Originating in Huddersfield, showing as just "delayed" at every station on National Rail Enquiries and the board at Barnsley is showing next train at 2112. Anyone know what's going on?

Showing a 36 min delay now, train going up to Huddersfield has just left so assume the time of delay is due to the single track and having to cross at Penistone.

Looks like this was the main cause of the delay http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y71653/2014/08/17/advanced
Delayed just after leaving Sheffield and stuck for some time at Meadowhell.

Hmm. Might have been another group of disgruntled pensioners 
Now a 52 minute delay. Next train afterwards isn't far behind it.

Either that or the driver forgot his wife's birthday and fancied nipping into the shopping centre.

According to the Northern twitter feed, there was a bridge strike earlier, delaying service between Sheffield and Barnsley/Swinton. It's been cleared now, but I expect residual delays to still happen for a while yet.
