Hi guys a couple of days ago I had my debit card stolen from me but it has only just come to me that I have still yet to collect 3 sets of tickets from the machine at Sheffield.
Just wondering if anyone can provide any advice on what I need to do. I dont know if it will make a difference but...
They is no night buses in Sheffield any more.
Stagecoach withdrew all the services a couple of months back since no one was using them, but then if people dont know they exist how can they use them.
I dont think resignalling could ever help Sheffield. Only way Sheffield could ever stop being a bottleneck would be adding extra track in the north throat but this is never likely to happen due to the crazy amount of money it would cost to make the tunnels and such wider.
Hi I am looking for some advice might be a little late now.
I am traveling from Woodhouse (WDH) to Swindon but the original plan was to travel to Doncaster on my free pass to meet my friends on a east Coast service from Leeds and travel down together.
my question is would I be able to use...
Just had a quick glance and under other cities it mentions scope for lengthening diesel units, which to me says they not going to do the infills to Doncaster/Moorthorpe from Sheffield.
Its not the station its self this was improved towards the end of Midland Mainline. It mentions new track layout and additional platforms at Sheffield.

Posted on another forum, surprised about the Sheffield station improvements mentioned.
I guess they Would go via Pontefract and Moorthorpe from York. The weather has not been that bad really just heavy showers now and again, we are meant to be getting a months rain tomorrow though so it could be chaos.
I am looking forward to see how the tram-trains pans out, I hope it is a great success.
If it is a success I can see further routes in Sheffield eg to Stocksbridge and Woodhouse with a park and ride at Waverly.
Couple of months ago i used to travel on this service from Stockport to Hereford, Could never guess what would turn up more times than not was a 158. The last time I went to Hereford via Stockport I was unlucky to get a 150.
Since then I always go via New Street and catch the 170 Hereford train...
How would you route both XCs via Leeds considering you have the two stoppers from SHF and DON and Northern or who ever looking to route another service on this line?
Surly going to be hard to pull the Liverpool - Norwich service sure some was mentioned earlier that fast trains between Manchester and Sheffield would be doubled.
