Then get the First South Yorkshire service 8 in the opposite direction, getting off by the Hillsborough Stadium at the bus stop Herries Road South at 21:09 Sunday evening.

Thanks for reminding me, I didn't do anything when I first read the post as I was busy and then forgot as it was unread!

The next train not to Sheffield (after the minimum 5 minutes), where you don't want to go back to, isn't for an hour, so you go for a sleep, but luckily don't miss the last train out, and catch it, the 23:41 Northern service to Conisbrough, arriving at 00:02 Monday morning.
