    Indeed it does. However, Dodworth station is much further up the line and would be a fair walk from any potential site for a stadium up there. The cost to build a new station on an existing line is ridiculous. The new station at White Rose in Leeds is estimated at 22 million. Not to mention there’s no capacity on the Penistone line for an additional service. There’s currently one train and hour in each direction.

    Will be when we're all back to normal and suffering from bad backs from working from home.

    According to the Poggy NIMBYS, these houses are only for people from Leeds and Sheffield anyway.
