Text of the page (random words):
ings two footbridges connected the platforms one to the north for passengers with the other to the south for station staff and parcels the tracks were covered by two overall roofs the older and larger spanned platforms 5 and 6 and an identical structure can still be viewed today at the former bath green park station wartime damage put the roofs beyond economic repair hence they were removed in the autumn of 1956 and replaced by low level awnings 1960 2002 edit the 1960s saw the introduction of the classes 45 and 46 diesel electric locomotives known as peaks 7 sheaf house was built in 1965 8 full citation needed adjacent to the station to house british rail s sheffield division headquarters as part of the reconstruction of the area as the gateway to sheffield it was demolished in early 2006 in 1970 the city s other main station sheffield victoria was closed and its remaining services from penistone were diverted until 1981 via a cumbersome reversal the pullman service between sheffield victoria and london king s cross including the morning and evening master cutler now ran onto the east coast main line via retford from sheffield midland instead this was the third route used by the train of that name originally it had run to london marylebone the station was resignalled in 1972 and its track layout remodelled british rail introduced the high speed train hst to sheffield on the midland main line in 1984 the cross country services had seen the introduction of the hsts in 1982 on 21 december 1991 the station was flooded by the river sheaf which flows under it a log that was part of the debris commemorates the event on platform 5 in 1991 construction of the new supertram network began and by late 1994 sheffield midland was connected to the network after the opening of the line between fitzalan square in the city centre and spring lane to the east of the station citation needed 2002 present edit crosscountry and east midlands trains services at platforms 6 and 7 the station concourse post redevelopment in 2002 midland mainline as the main train operating company of the station instigated a major regeneration before this a taxi rank was located inside what is now the main concourse and the new entrance hall the stone façade of the station was sandblasted and its archways filled with unobstructed windows to improve views both from inside and out 9 other changes included the improvement of platform surfaces and the addition of a pedestrian bridge connecting the station concourse with the south yorkshire supertram stop at the far side of the station 10 to coincide with the regeneration of the station sheaf square was rebuilt as part of a project designed to create the gateway to sheffield the station and the square form part of a route that leads passengers through the square past the 262 5 feet 80 0 m cutting edge water feature up howard street and into the heart of the city citation needed this won the project of the year in the 2006 national rail awards 11 on 11 november 2007 east midlands trains an amalgamation of midland mainline and part of central trains took over the management of the station in december 2009 following the restoration of the station a new pub the sheffield tap opened next to platform 1b 12 the room is located within the main station building it had been used as a store room for 35 years but was used

controversy edit the bridge at the centre of some controversy in 2008 in 2008 east midlands trains revealed its intention to restrict access to parts of the station by installing ticket barriers to try to prevent passengers from travelling without a ticket this proposal met with widespread opposition from residents and council members because the footbridge would be closed off to non ticket holders it would sever a popular thoroughfare from the norfolk park residential area and the supertram stop on one side to the station travel centre the bus interchange the city centre and the city centre campus of sheffield hallam university on the other on 6 may 2009 east midlands trains implemented its proposal using temporary barriers and ticket inspectors to bar access to the footbridge to non ticket holders and local residents and supertram passengers were forced to use longer routes around the station 18 in november 2009 east midlands trains was refused planning permission for the barriers by the council 19 but in february 2010 announced it would apply again 20 the transport secretary lord adonis announced in april 2010 that barriers would not be installed until a second bridge was built to maintain a thoroughfare for non ticket holders 21 from september 2010 east midlands trains used uniformed staff to prevent local residents using the footbridge 22 at the same time sheffield city council explored the possibility of turning the bridge into a public right of way to resolve the matter in late 2010 it was reported that the deputy prime minister nick clegg mp for sheffield hallam might intervene to resolve the impasse 23 in march 2012 transport minister justine greening offered 3 million to build a new footbridge to resolve the problem 24 tickets are not currently required to enter the station or to use the footbridge which gives access to the sheffield station tram stop to the east 25 future edit ian yeowart former managing director of grand central put forward in 2009 a bid for new open access alliance rail holdings services operating on the east coast main line 26 as part of the scheme four services a day would operate between sheffield and london king s cross via alfreton nottingham and grantham meaning sheffield would be connected to the capital by both the midland main line and the east coast main line routes once again yeowart proposed the resurrection of the name great north eastern railway for the service which has been unused since the last franchise of that name ended in 2007 however in 2010 the proposed sheffield to london kings cross services via the east coast main line were rejected in the 2010 rail utilisation strategy it quoted that the midland main line north of bedford would be electrified in 2020 the line is currently one of the few major main lines that is not electrified the plan found that the project would provide significantly enhanced services and significant financial savings 27 in july 2017 the transport secretary chris grayling announced the electrification plan for the whole of the midland main line would not go ahead as previously planned instead the section from clay cross in derbyshire to sheffield would be electrified by 2033 as part of the planned hs2 line as an interim measure bi mode trains were to be used as it was claimed that they offer benefits similar to high speed electric trains a national audit office report said in the case of midland main line bi mode trains with the required speed and acceleration did not exist when the secretary of state made his decision citation needed 28 the mp for loughborough another area to have been served by the proposed electrification scheme and chair of the treasury select committee nicky morgan said of the revised plans now we see the decision to cancel it was based on fantasy trains that didn t even exist and the midlands being a guinea pig for an untested technology 29 30 31 32 33 34 facilities edit the main station entrance
