    Sounds like an excellent idea and would provide a better option for people less mobile that find the change at kings X/St Pancreas too difficult...

    Would it be more advantageous to take the 'Old Road' between Rotherham and Chesterfield via Barrow Hill rather than through congested Sheffield?
