How far is it from Oughty Bridge to Oughtibridge? How many will want to wait an hour between trains? Who wants to be dropped off at a Nunnery Square terminus? Indeed I share your concerns and of course with one train an hour simply shuttling up and down there would be no need for passing loops meaning that it would cost another arm and leg to increase the frequency.

It's three stops away from Fitzalan Square. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed and that would be a loose definition of town these days with Co op gone, Wilko gone the old market gone also 2 trams if you want to connect up with mainline trains to anywhere else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Burger King will inject some life in to the northern part of town. Wendy's seems to have helped to make it slightly more vibrant. If I was traveling from Stocksbridge to the rail station, I don't think I'd mess about getting of and on, I'd probably walk from Fitzalan Square. A direct link would be advantageous. Sheffield station needs more direct transport links certainly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine peddling a few bags of overpriced crisps & Toblerones would give you an incredible insight into the mechanics of railway infrastructure 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkapaka Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I don’t think it will happen. just the tories trying to water down the cancellation of hs2 in the vain hope of retaining some of the northern vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
