florence kat Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Thank you for news. The delay is certainly longer than 60 minutes. My visitors have still not arrived at 0045. florence kat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBlacks Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 What has happened on Charlotte Road/Queens Road junction? Just drove past there and noticed the road was closed. I also saw lots of police cars. I hope nothing serious has happened to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florence kat Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Just had text from friends on train, held up only short distance from Sheffield. They have been in the train for hours. Now they are being taken back to CHESTERFIELD!!!! And it's 0200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 At least they have a plan to get them off and to their destination. Presumably they'll be loaded into taxis at Chesterfield (unless there's a bus, and they'll be loaded into taxis at Sheffield, now they've missed the last bus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florence kat Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Latest news - original train ran out of fuel, so passengers were transferred to another train which is coming BACK to Sheffield and approaching "from the back". Time: 0230. florence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florence kat Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Sorry I got my time wrong. It is only (ONLY!) 0140. The kettle is on - waiting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 It looks like it's been one of those nights look on the bright side - they weren't travelling up the M5 tonight. Compared to the wait SOME families will have tonight, your ordeal is very easily bearable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
