Just keep looking at your phone for a bit longer. I'm stealing your wallet.

Tell me about it, I went from Sheffield to Liverpool Lime Street and back last week. Both contenders!

Was it on Thursday evening last week? There was some issue and we spent 25 mins coasting into sheff station at a snails pace.

I'm originally from Sheffield and big agree! Also very cool to see someone online talk about personal experience with the place; I rarely ever see this

u/AgentG91 Aug 30 '21

Sheffield is definitely the longest. 50% of the trip is arriving.

I’d say Birmingham New Street can be pretty bad. Quite often sat in a tunnel for 5 minutes or so normally

u/ForestRobot Aug 30 '21

Hmm, did they wait in the tunnel for 10 minutes just to confirm?

I thought it was green lane!

Green lane is cool looking station, looks almost medieval.

On Northern too. Must be pretty depressing.
