terrible train timetable of Sheffield-Adwick train
« on: May 20, 2010, 07:21:22 AM »
Northern rail unilaterally and without consultation altered the train time of the Sheffield-Adwick 22:15 to 22:34 last December thus making it almost an hour and twenty minutes after the preceding 21:15 train.
I have written to Northern rail, SYPTE and the department of transport to notify them that Northern Rail is in breach of it's service level commitment to provide a train at least once an hour on this line.
The only replies I received from Northern Rail told me that I should catch another bus and train home or travel 8 miles out of my way to Doncaster both of which would incur further cost to myself! Their final 'choice' for me was to go on using the 'service' and sit around in Sheffield station for over another hour after just finishing an 8 hour shift! In other words 'like it or lump it!'
Needless to say I told them what to do with their 'choices' and I have since bought a car - so much for public service and better public transport!
