From 15 December the connecting Northern service will be 11.05 (Sheffield -Adwick stopper, nodding donkey!) arriving Doncaster 11.45.

Be aware that the xx.25 Northern Sheffield to Hull and the Yorkshire Coast line (class 170) trains are often delayed on departure from Sheffield, perhaps due to XC departure at xx.21. Arrivals at Doncaster around xx.05/08 are possible. Just saying!

Having had the pleasure of travelling in one of these units the full length of the Cumbrian Coast (Lancaster to Carlisle) my back complained for days after. Actually I eventually transferred to one of the bench seats in the vestibule area which, at least, allowed better views of the coastal...

Northern’s Hull crews have knowledge of the route via Selby but it isn’t being used. Clearly there is no substitute between Doncaster and Mexborough, however Northern have not sourced buses to serve some or all stations on the route, and, no, the roads are not blocked. No buses Google to...

Or walk the much shorter distance to the bus station and catch the hourly no.60 bus (Glossop - New Mills - Buxton).

The Route has been revised to run via Baslow and NOT via Hassop, as currently. Times are altered too. These services replace the service 66 which covered Tideswell, Eyam, and connected at Baslow with 170 to Chesterfield. Now there is only the Stagecoach operated 65 (Sheffield -Buxton) west of...

However, there is a frequent (upto every ten minutes) X78 (as mentioned) bus service running between Doncaster Interchange (adjacent to station), Rotherham Interchange (3 minute walk to the closed Rotherham Central) and Sheffield Interchange ( over the road from Midland Station). Takes 1h 20...

Despite SY PTE website stating there are no problems on trains in South Yorkshire, and Northern’s website having no reference to Kirk Sandall, the stopping trains are still cancelled between Sheffield Doncaster and Goole. The line at Kirk Sandall is open with Sheffield Hull Yorkshire Coast fast...

Flooding of track at Kirk Sandall on Doncaster - Hull / Scunthorpe line, no trains. Northern fasts diverted via Temple Hirst / Selby not serving Goole. FTPE cancelled with some running Cleethorpes to Scunthorpe and back, and some running Manchester to Sheffield or maybe Doncaster (probably...

Doncaster platform 2 - a south facing bay only used to stable stock. The EMR Lincoln’s could use it, but don’t! No other services can’t use it as it doesn’t connect to the Sheffield lines and is too short for normal LNER trains. Maybe a 5 car Azusa would fit, but no southbound service trains...

Interestingly, the inward working from Laira depot (13.06) into platform 7 at Plymouth North Road ( to form 13.25 to Edinburgh) is shown as HST. So, your guess is as good as anybody’s!!

Isn’t the only bus service First’s X50 Worcester -Pershore -Evesham? This runs hourly along the main road ( a walk away) from around 07.00 to 18.00. Not very inviting even if you live in the Redhill area of Worcester. Joined up public transport isn’t really something that happens in Worcestershire

I notice the first Cleethorpes to Manchester Airport service was 3 car instead of 6 again today. Just be warned if you are catching 17.18 from Piccadilly to Sheffield this evening - sardines would have a better ride!

Between Sheffield and Derby diversions via “The Old Road” (Beighton / Staveley) between Sheffield and Chesterfield are not uncommon ( some even scheduled for route retention), and via Erewash Valley (Langley Mill & Spondon). Usual causes include broken down trains, landslips etc. Both...

Quite likely - Sheffield to Hull / Adwick stoppers and Doncaster -Scunthorpe stoppers are likely to remain Pacers until well into next year according to Press reports

So presumably the argument about freeing up space for more passengers would apply to people with prams / pushchairs and naturally anyone with more than hand luggage, and I’ve not mentioned wheelchairs! What exactly is the purpose of a train then? Provision should be made on all trains for the...

It was 15 late from Leeds but left Neville Hill on time and lost 30 minutes at Marsh Lane. Signalling problems at Wakefield (lightning strike) impacted on journey south of Leeds and greatly increased the delays so departure from Sheffield was about 40 late.

I assumed it was Skegness, but I haven’t been for decades so could be wrong!

Services still seem to be diverted via Erewash

Oops! Sorry, you’re right
