Waterside Echo Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 A letter published in this mornings "Daily Mail" from a retired rail industry engineer was about underground railways. It mentions us. "Sheffield at one time had a large underground station, it was on a main line that ran right under the city" any ideas? W/E.

Peter Walker Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hi @boginspro, I saw that and wondered myself. Hopefully someone on here can provide an answer. @SteveHB, now you mention that, I remember the proposal but the letter infers that the 'large underground station' actually existed rather than being proposed. I wonder if it has something to do with any link between Midland stn and Victoria stn, didn't there used to be some goods terminal below Victoria (?) but I may well be completely wrong with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopman Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 There used to be a line in a tunnel running from Bridgehouses to Wicker station, going under Spital Hill. There was also a plan for a huge two level station linking the two lines (where the line from the Midland Station passed under the Victoria line, but this never came to anything.
