Flood at Sheffield Train Station

[Tripitaka 10]

Just a warning to people wanting to purchase and pick up tickets at the train station that it is completely flooded and all taped off and so difficult to buy tickets, as all the ticket machines seem to be cordoned off etc as well and probably flooded/damaged.

 

Probably best to call up and see whether tickets will be available to buy etc...

 

Plus does anyone know what happened as there was bucket loads of water all over where the ticket office is located.

hi there is a burst water mains in the booking office area, tickets can be purchased

off the revenue officers.

People can buy tickets on the trains from the conductors. Make sure they're giving the discount that's usually only available if you buy before boarding. The conductor should know what's happened. Should.

Ah, I though it may have been the giant stainless steel urinal outside overflowing.

Can you still collect pre-paid for tickets?

[BHRemovals 10]

That sounds unusual

At least it isn't the river culverts being blocked again ... Sheffield station was closed entirely for about three months, when that happened.

It's returning to normal. The ticket machines are now back in service and there are lots of staff available to assist. The ticket office is still closed though.

As already stated, a water main burst in the night and I believe has caused significant damage to the ticket office. Much of the station has no water hence toilets closed.

are their any revenue inspectors in sheffield (RPI's) ?

They had a water-pipe burst in the floor affecting the ticket office. They've been drilling holes in the floor to find the leak, which they appear to have solved by 6 today.
