    XC diversions in Sheffield area, 2-6 Feb 2026

    I would have thought that the walkways for the driver to reverse the train would have been there for years? Don't some London trains go and sit there after terminating at Sheffield before returning to Sheffield Midland for its return journey? When Victoria shut down i think that the Sheffield to...

    Why is Bradford so deeply overshadowed by Leeds in rail transport terms?

    You would at least expect Bradford to have a direct service to Sheffield, if nothing else.

    Why would third rail be an issue? They are bi modes, or am i missing something here?

    Sheffield To Brighton Direct

    Now that bi modes are being rolled out on the MML would it not be a good idea to get the Sheffield to St Pancras service to go through to Brighton via the Thameslink? My idea would be the fast trains from Sheffield going to Brighton and the stopping service from Sheffield to terminate at...

    Extending EMR back to York

    I am sure some taxi drivers made a killing transporting drivers to and from Derby to Leeds in the early hours. Not sure if the guards were taxied to Sheffield or Derby?

    Will Cross Country price itself out of the market?

    Are Cross Country trains packed because a lot of people on those trains are doing the likes of Sheffield to Leeds, Sheffield to Chesterfield? Remove those people from these services, and people travelling from Sheffield to Bristol / Glasgow and the like, might get a seat.

    Is there a case for extending some St Pancras to Nottingham services to Mansfield?

    Those figures for Newark Northgate cant possibly be right, that's more than the pax from Sheffield to London. Just checked and you seem to have doubled the pax numbers for all the other stations on your list. Am i missing something here?

    Grand Central apply for Newcastle - Brighton direct

    Just extend the MML from Sheffield to Brighton via London Bridge, when the wires reach Sheffield. The fast Sheffield service goes as far as Brighton and the hourly slow service goes as far as Gatwick. Some of the Thameslink services terminate at St Pancras. If the wires go as far as Doncaster...

    Sheffield and the North West: how could services be improved?

    What about sending the Cleethorpes to Preston / Blackpool via Barnsley and Huddersfield? Those services only recently went from Manchester Picc to Liverpool, so it would hardly be a downgrade. Cleethorpes, Grimsby and Doncaster would get direct trains to Barnsley, Huddersfield and towns in the...

    Sheffield and the North West: how could services be improved?

    As one of the country's largest cities, why has Sheffield got no direct services to the North West, apart from Manchester? I see there is one direct passenger train a week from Sheffield to Carlisle, and apart from that, nothing. No direct trains to places like Preston or Blackpool or further...
