Northern Train Changes IDEA

[channex265]

Hi

I have a few train change ideas for Northern, so here goes.

1. Sheffield - Doncaster - Adwick stopper service will terminate at Doncaster. The Sheffield - Doncaster - Scunthorpe service will remain hourly and With the Sheffield to Donny stopper service combined the frequency will be every 30 minutes Between Sheffield and Doncaster.

2. Then I would withdraw the class 321 Leeds to Doncaster Stopper service.

3. Then I would Extend the Bradford F Square - Leeds service to Doncaster Stopping at all Stations to Doncaster with an Every 30 minute frequency.

All comments welcome

What would you do with the Leeds to Sheffield via Moorthorpe whose path you would be nicking by running half hourly to Doncaster?

try and squeeze it in somewhere.

Far easier said than done!

The idea of extending Bradford F Sq services through to Doncaster has been bandied around for some time, but perhaps is unlikely to ever take off what with NX's plans to extend one London train every hour to Bradford.

Good luck with that!You might fit it in as far as the switch off towards Moorthorpe,  but then you'd have the equally tricky task of pathing it between Swinton and Sheffield.

maybe not a good idea then, But how a bout an hourly Stopper service so we can squeeze it in?
