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 connection of the line to the MS&L network wasn't made until after the SYR was integrated. This resulted in a passenger service running between Sheffield Victoria and Doncaster, with intermediate stops at Rotherham Central, which was established in 1864.
