Hi,
Looking at trains to London from Sheffield, it would appear to be both quicker and cheaper on a Sunday to change at Doncaster than to take the direct service to London, calling at all shacks. Is there a reason why EMT run such a dire Sunday service compared to other InterCity operators: both Sheffield and Nottingham get an irregular 1 train an hour (ish) service, whereas the ECML and WCML operate similar frequencies to any other day of the week? It’s not like the East Midlands and Sheffield stop on a Sunday any less than anywhere else, so why the dismal service?
