Passengers told to find alternative transport as disruption continues after derailment

The incident happened at around 3am, but disruption is ongoing as many lines in and out of the station remain blocked, Northern Rail said.

The majority of train services in the area have been cancelled until further notice and customers are being advised to seek alternative transport options. 

The following routes are affected and trains may be cancelled, start, or terminate at different stations or run with delays.

    Leeds - Nottingham

    Leeds - Sheffield via Barnsley (Able to run to/from Meadowhall)

    Leeds - Sheffield via Moorthorpe (Able to run to/from Meadowhall)

    Sheffield - Huddersfield (Service will start/terminate Barnsley)

    Sheffield - Lincoln

    Sheffield - Scarborough (Service can run to/from Doncaster)

    Sheffield - Doncaster (Service cancelled in full)

    Sheffield - York (Service cancelled in full)

    Sheffield - Manchester (Able to operate a full service) 

Northern Rail customers may use their tickets on the Supertram between Sheffield and Meadowhall / Parkgate as well as on any reasonable alternative route. 

The firm said it was “working hard” to organise a road replacement transport plan and there was an hourly replacement bus service between Doncaster and Meadowhall, and between Sheffield and Lincoln.
