I am currently in Sheffield station. Looks like all Transpennine Express services cancelled. No delays to get to London though.
Sheffield was great to get to in only 2 hours, however the price is so high, even with my Disabled railcard, it was cheaper for my partner to drive and we split the petrol.

Imagine if that money was invested in improving railway infrastructure across the country.
Yes and no.
The entire railway infrastructure need to be brought back up to modern standard, looking at Austria whose railways is amazing and cheap.
Having HS2 actually have an advantage for the commuter line freeing up space to have more trains running at peak time, leaving the HS2 as a dedicated fast commuter.
Also will help with freight being able to share the line with the commuter too.

Bob Griffin of Kent!
Was repainted in 2010.
700c, normal drop brakes, 27.2mm seat post, 126mm spacing so you can put a 130mm wheel on it, had a 8 speed cassette on it, 28mm tyres clearance.
Very short top tube but will work for those who like that old school look of minimal seat post showing without having such a short stem.
Condition is dusty, crank are VO 50.4bcd with 46/30, Claris derailleur and friction shifters that felt like butter, TIME pedals included.
46/30 with 11-28 cassette is a lovely range, or put a shimano 11-40t cassette with MTB derailleur.
Only £75, pick up from Catford.

I think you just reach your threshold of income vs cost.
Like how some people on the average income shit themselves about wearing a 2.5k watch on the street let alone a £500 one.
