    Oyster PAYG v Travelcards

    Would it be much quicker to get the card online and pop to the the ticket office on arrival to add my railcard? Also how long do oyster cards last before they expire?

    Oyster PAYG v Travelcards

    That makes more sense to me i think. really would be just 2 days train back is at 10. i guess to save cost i could use my Bus pass to get around before 9.30am then be fine to use zone 1-4 for both days, i am guessing this would not affect which train or tube i got to Charlton and Wembley time wise?

    Tram-Train...any future ?

    It is the line at the back of Sheffield Arena, I would think the link will be at Meadowhall south or maybe at Nunnery Square.

    Future Northern Rail

    That sounds more like a nightmare to me. If we had a Yorkshire PTE i would see it being like BBC Look North/L**ds. would just be all centred around Leeds. For a city of Sheffield's size we have a poor rail network, the Tram does not reach enough people, and to top it of we have SYPTE...

    Sheffield Station north throat

    Service 40 has gone in a couple of weeks due to SYPTE. Regarding Sheffield would an idea be to put a cross over on platform 1 and 5, for example while i train is in 1B a train can go round and access 1A. also by using 5 more you can get two trains using the north throat at the same time. Now...

    Sheffield Station north throat

    Only real way you can increase services into Sheffield is by re opening Sheffield Victoria. Routing trains via Meadowhall south is no good still have to use the north throat I would more or less add to the pressure having to cross the tracks. If i would do anything I would re open the...

    Future Northern Rail

    I have been reading this forum for a couple of weeks now thought I would make a post now. Maybe its just me but I dont see why you would give the TPE South to EMT, would that not be an odd ball route, Would have to run a load of service's short at Sheffield to get the units back to Notttingham...

    Will Lincoln ever have better train services?

    Dont think XX14 would work due to the Leeds stopper via Bolton-on-Dearn sure its hard to re time this service due to it being over taken by xx21 XC service. The only times i could think would be any good would be it leaving around XX00 or XX30 at those times dont think there is anything going...
