The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Report, published in July 2016, noted that if the HS2 Phase 2b route were to serve South Yorkshire via a connection to the existing conventional rail network and Sheffield Midland station, there may be scope to consider other opportunities for further developing services in South Yorkshire.
Building on this recommendation, High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd has investigated the scope for enhancing HS2 services to South Yorkshire via either a parkway station; or by extending HS2 services stopping at Sheffield Midland station to travel onwards to other destinations on the conventional rail network.
These reports detail the work that has been undertaken and the advice that has been provided by HS2 Ltd to government.
