Eccy Beach Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Commuting to london every day is madness. Nobody should do this. Agreed, I don't but probably go 4-5 times a month. On a separate issue people talking about where Wi-Fi/6 or &G will be in 10 years time, where will rail/transport technology be in 16 years time when this project is complete?

DC89216 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Ruining peoples homes and land just to shave off 30 or so minutes for a trip to London. Haha. Imagine supporting this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will still be electric trains. There is nothing more efficient. Comparing emerging wireless technology development with train technology is irrelevant as we have been developing trains since the 18th Century while public digital wireless internet only started in 1998 when 3G became available.

sadbrewer Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Slow all the way from Chesterfield to Sheffield? Slow all the way from Chesterfield and slow all the way up to where it joins Hs2 northbound . SCC have won themselves a deal that leaves the city marooned in the middle of a slow spur line with a total distance of 40 odd kilometers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just about making journey times quicker. It's to increase the capacity of the UKs entire traffic infrastructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This plan though achieves neither for the Sheffield City region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Slow all the way from Chesterfield and slow all the way up to where it joins Hs2 northbound . Have you ever been on a High speed Train ? They don't generally go at high speed until they are into the open countryside anyway. In the Channel Tunnel you can only get to a maximum of 99 mph and different parts of the line between London and the Tunnel have several different maximum speed limits depending upon the line limits.

ihpb Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 It would be better if they knock down the whole estate and build a station at Mexborough than have HS1.5 going through Sheffield city centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Do we have to keep adding every 10 posts or so.... It's not all about journey time. It's about the current line being up to (or almost up to) capacity and upgrading it (so we are told) isn't an option. So it's being replaced with a less frequent service on a new train :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 So it's being replaced with a less frequent service on a new train :huh: No. Have you actually read any of the info about this, or are you just trying to be some kind of miserable luddite ?
