It was not until later, after the SYR was integrated into the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&L), that this line was joined to their Sheffield (Tinsley  Junction) to Rotherham line, with a passenger service introduced between Sheffield Victoria and Doncaster, and intermediate stations built, the first being Rotherham Central in 1864.
The integration of the SYR into the MS&L network led to the establishment of a passenger service between Sheffield Victoria and Doncaster, with intermediate stops at Rotherham Central, which was constructed in 1864.
