Wondering where my is to London - looks like it arrived in but then tootles off down the Worksop line for a rest, before coming back in the station, *checks watch* 10 minutes before departure.

What fun! opentraintimes.com/schedule/Y0

OpenTrainTimes5C56: 1307 Sheffield - SheffieldFull train schedule for train 5C56, the 1307 Sheffield - Sheffield

@jamesjefferies shout out to #OTT and all who sail on her

@wnd amen! Although I do also dabble with RTT too

@jamesjefferies that's not a common move. Platform congestion in Sheffield?

@mgleadow @jamesjefferies

I was on a train between London and Manhcester late morning today that got delayed by another train that "hit an animal" and therefore had to be returned to the depot...

@claresudbery @jamesjefferies having spoken to people who deal with the aftermath of such occurrences, the depot visit is both unpleasant and necessary

@claresudbery @mgleadow some of the stuff that railway professionals have to deal with 😢

@mgleadow only one platform occupied at the time 🤔 - there was a platform change from 2 to 8 for departure, so a way to get across the station without fouling the Meadowhall line?

@jamesjefferies that's possible. But don't need to go all the way to Worksop

@jamesjefferies oh, I misread the message. Just checked the link - yeah that makes sense

@mgleadow @jamesjefferies if only we had a national open API that shared useful information about passenger train consist and maintenance activity
