 These were to run from an interchange with the tramway near the Woodman Inn at Swinton north-westwards to Wath-upon-Dearne; westwards from Wath to West Melton; northwards from Wath to Goldthorpe; from the Denaby tram terminus eastwards to Conisbrough; and from Mexborough westwards to Manvers Main.At the time, local councils were considering constructing their own tramway or trolleybus system, and so opposed the scheme.When the Mexborough & Swinton Tramways Railless Electric Traction Act (1913) received the Royal assent, it only included authority to build the last two of the five routes.
