    Bus driver stabbed in Sheffield

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-49954140 Is it me or are things getting worse? Someone going around doing their job can be attacked by a scrote who probably hasn't seen a day's work in their life.

    Train crew (due to take over from Leeds) left behind at previous stop (York)

    I'm currently on a delayed CrossCountry service due to shortage of train manager. Apparently they left him at York. Fair play to the guy he's walked down and apologised to everyone but how could this have happened?

    Increasing Sheffield Station Capacity

    So HS2 have announced that Sheffield Station will be a stop on HS2 using existing rail tracks. However it was my understanding that Sheffield was near to capacity and of course for HS2 the station will need to be extended. Does Sheffield Station have the capacity for extra trains or could...
