Hi Peter,

try:

\relative c' {
  c1 \break
  \override Score.BarLine.after-line-breaking =
  #(lambda (grob)
    (if (= (ly:item-break-dir grob) RIGHT)
        (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'extra-offset '(-1 . 0))))
  \repeat volta 2 {
    c \break
  }
}

Though, maybe better to override Clef.space-alist instead:

\override Score.Clef.space-alist.staff-bar = #'(extra-space . 0.0)
