This has been talked about in the councils plans on their website for the boroughs future.
On the map, the marker is clearly Masbrough and I think its mentioned specifically.
Other option would be a "Swinton parkway" style station. Stuff goes through there that does not stop.
The whole thing is a rouse, hollow words story. Don’t see anything changing. Rotherham is a backwater, a suburb and just the way Sheffield want to keep it. They don’t give too hoots that you have to travel further and longer to get to services.
I just can’t see anything changing. I will still be having to travel to Meadowhall to catch the trans Pennine express, the train that goes to the airport, the place that people go to mostly without baggage, so no need for baggage storage on the train.
I thought the train station had just been refurbished at great expense. Not good planning
I was reading one of the many books on the history of Rotherham recently and apparently the first station, or one of the first, was located on Main Street right in town in between the postal sorting office and where the old post office / Yates' used to be. I think it served mainly as a link to Sheffield
Even if it’s given the thumbs up it won’t happen anytime soon, Rotherham always plays 2nd fiddle to other nearby towns. As for Masbrough it’s not in town centre that’s why it closed down years ago!
Not going to happen
