ultracynic Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Aren't most people just going to continue with the Virgin train as it is much faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverknight Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I think I read some where that Midland Mainline are unlikely to provide a reliable service by extending the Sheffield service to Leeds because of problems at the London end( building work at St Pancras etc) so the SRA had a rethink on the matter. They were going to look at a possible Nottingham - Sheffield - Leeds service by Central trains( also part of National Express Group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 The Virgin service is pretty good most of the time, though I seem to remember the last one coming back in the evening is pretty early. The current 'last train' from Leeds to Sheffield is a particular painful memory of mine. Some time ago I caught it and it took me 5 hours to get home...... It'll be a welcome service - at the moment it's frequently faster to get the National Express coach! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Beats me why anybody would want to get to Leeds in a hurry. Now getting away from Leeds is another matter................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Scarlet Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 The timetable given earlier in this thread is accurate a source in the industry tells me. This is the list of all trains leaving Sheffield to West Yorkshire: xx:08 Trains Northern All stations to Leeds via Barnsley xx:15 Trains Northern All stations to Leeds via Rotherham & Bolton on Dearne xx:21 Cross Country to Wakefield Westgate, Leeds and beyond. xx:38 Trains Northern All stations to Huddersfield via Barnsley xx:51 Midland Mainline to Leeds calling Meadowhall, Barnsley, Wakefield Kirkgate only. Same trains will come back at other times. ENJOY ! (If you really must go to Leeds ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 I think you will find the xx:51 is Northern Trains, not Midland Mainline.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
