Important information about train delays


During the festival period, Network Rail will be carrying out refurbishment work on the lines between Sheffield and Chesterfield stations, which will include improvements to the track and drainage system of Bradway Tunnel. This will affect the area around Sheffield, altering the Sheffield – London and Liverpool – Nottingham – Norwich services.

It will mean that Sheffield to London services will be diverted, increasing the journey time by around 10 minutes, some services may not start or finish at their usual destinations and may not stop at all stations.

Click here for a detailed list of altered services and timetable changes.

Tickets purchased through our online form will still be valid on these trains. Please note that tickets from our online form are not valid on journeys via Doncaster.

Please allocate extra time for your journey to and from Doc/Fest to compensate for these travel delays.
