Extensive engineering work in the Sheffield area will disrupt rail services from Monday February 2 to Friday February 6, with a wide range of routes affected and a combination of revised timetables and rail replacement buses in operation.
No trains will run between York, Leeds, Doncaster or Adwick and Sheffield or between Lincoln and Sheffield via Retford and Worksop. Replacement buses will operate between York and Moorthorpe, between Meadowhall or Rotherham Central and Sheffield, and between Sheffield and Lincoln. Northern tickets will be accepted on South Yorkshire Supertram services between Rotherham, Meadowhall and Sheffield throughout the works.
On routes between Leeds, Barnsley, Sheffield and Nottingham, buses will replace trains between Sheffield Interchange and Meadowhall. Trains will run to a reduced timetable between Leeds and Barnsley to Meadowhall, with one fast and one stopping service, while services between Sheffield, Chesterfield and Nottingham will also operate to revised schedules. Services to Lincoln, which run via Worksop and Retford, will be replaced entirely by buses.
Journeys between Leeds and Sheffield via Moorthorpe will require buses between Sheffield Interchange and Rotherham Central, with stopping trains only running between Rotherham Central and Leeds. Between Huddersfield, Barnsley and Sheffield, buses will operate between Sheffield Interchange and Meadowhall, while trains will continue between Huddersfield and Meadowhall.
Some longer-distance services will continue, with trains running between Rotherham Central, Doncaster, Hull, Bridlington and Scarborough. However, buses will replace trains between Moorthorpe, Pontefract Baghill and York.
CrossCountry services between Scotland, the Northeast and the Southwest will operate at reduced frequency to and from Sheffield and Chesterfield. Alternative rail services will run between Derby and Chesterfield and between Sheffield and Chesterfield, with road transport provided between Sheffield and Doncaster and between Sheffield and Meadowhall. One direct CrossCountry service every two hours will operate between Derby and Wakefield.
Passengers are strongly advised to check online journey planners before travelling, as journey times and connections will vary.
