SkylinePhoto Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 So Rotherham as well as Barnsley should not get the full benefit that a station at Meadowhall would provide for all of South Yorkshire. I dont care about Rotherham and Barnsley. I live in Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkylinePhoto Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 People always on here moaning about the death of the city centre and now they want to move a major railway development out to meadowhall. Do you think Leeds would allow their HS2 station to be in Headingley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Day Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 People always on here moaning about the death of the city centre and now they want to move a major railway development out to meadowhall. Do you think Leeds would allow their HS2 station to be in Headingley? What benefit would having HS2 stop in the town centre have on the town centre? I can't think of one..... I can however guarantee a massive increase in traffic around an already busy area I.e. The train station. ---------- Post added 17-07-2017 at 15:51 ---------- I dont care about Rotherham and Barnsley. I live in Sheffield. Oh dear.........

Do you think Leeds would allow their HS2 station to be in Headingley? If the alternative is no HS2 at all, like we are getting now, then yes The whole point of a parkway station is that there's free and plentiful car parking. Drive to Meadowhall and park is much quicker/cheaper for most than drive to Sheffield city centre and not park ---------- Post added 17-07-2017 at 16:06 ---------- Im old enough to remember everyone saying exactly the same thing about the Euro tunnel. That it was too expensive and pointless etc etc And do you remember every one saying the same about the 2012 Olympics? The event was a month long and cost £10bn but in the end we all enjoyed it. Our lives would not change if we didnt build HS2....we wouldnt get a cheque for £100 sent to everyone Our country is over populated and we need as much infrastructure as possible. Get it built. The only problem is that the technology is already now out of date. Maglev ultra-high speed and hyperloop are already being rolled-out in more advanced countries. It's the same with Hinkley Point - the technology is going to be obsolete by the time it is complete (100% renewables is estimated for 2050) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Bynnol Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Confirmed route is "The re-alignment of the route between Derbyshire and West Yorkshire. The route in South Yorkshire will be the route consulted in 2016 which in part follows the M1 and M18, serves Sheffield City Centre via a spur from the HS2 line and includes provision for a northern junction allowing trains to run between Sheffield and Leeds city centres using HS2." Loss of proposed jobs in NE Derbyshire due to loss of train depot- to Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Ashcroft Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 No it doesn't. Urm - yes It's bypassing South Yorkshire and going straight to Leeds. We have to transfer onto an old chugger at Chesterfield and only 1 in 3 will bother doing that. Sheffield has just been bypassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
