nathanlewis   10 #3 Posted May 6, 2009 Basically if you have not got a train ticket and want to go through ie to Sheffield hallam university or go to pick up a nice coffee from one of the shops within the station, you are not allowed to walk through at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
nathanlewis   10 #4 Posted May 6, 2009 I hope the Rail company are subsidising the shopping outlets within the station as they are a awful lot of people who come through there ie on foot and from the trams who use these outlets, hey - ho looks like more people will end up out of a job when there profits start to drop very quickly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

HotPhil   10 #6 Posted May 6, 2009 Is that the permanent thing they've been talking about (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=310166)? Or just a check today? Did you ask to be let through or just see a barrier and not ask them? If it's the permanent closure, they'd given some assurances some people would still be let through...

beansforyou   10 #9 Posted May 6, 2009 Hotphil - there was no barriers just the Train staff and also police there incase anything kicked off  Did you ask if that was why they were there, or just assume?  Maybe they are on alert for some reason, like a bomb scare, in which case i'd be thanking them, personally.

HotPhil   10 #12 Posted May 6, 2009 Sounds like just one of their regular random days they check tickets to catch the fare evaders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
