    It's using existing rail lines (at least partially), so you can probably work it out looking at the map, and looking at where it passes through the West side of Mexborough.

    It will be no faster for residents of the South Yorks towns. The only beneficiaries will be Leeds residents. If you have to travel from Donny to some station in the middle of no-where and change trains, what's the point in not taking East Coast line?

    Depends if you're going to London or Leeds.

    I honestly can't think that a reduction in a trip to London by 25 mins would appeal, at the cost it will be. However, if a daily commute to Leeds was cut in half, (as it may be), it might be more appealing. Not that either affects me much currently.

    As others have said, money would be better spent on the East-West connections, but as usual everything is about London.

    All this will be years in the planning and building and it's all dates and old technology. Saw an article on BBC other day that Finland and Sweden are in consultation on building a hyperloop system. Same happening in California. Pods every couple of minutes travelling at 1000km/h and environmentally friendly.

    Surely we should be looking at something similar or a MagLev train system. We brits used to be pioneers

    We got a leaflet through the post yesterday due to the original plan coming through cudworth ( at one time you could catch a train from cudworth to almost anywhere in the country 5 platform station )new proposed route seems to run via the sheffield Thurnscoe leeds line
