context_page_description: Sheffield station, formerly Pond Street and later Sheffield Midland, is a combined railway station and tram stop in Sheffield, England, and the busiest station in South Yorkshire. Adjacent is Sheffield station/Sheffield Hallam University Sheffield Supertram stop. In 2017–18, the station was the 43rd-busiest in the UK, and the 15th-busiest outside London.
  The station is currently being considered as a stop for the High Speed 2 rail project.
context_section_description: The station is divided into four parts: the main building/concourse and platforms 1a/1b; the first island with platforms 2a-5b; the second island with platforms 6a-8b; and the adjoining Supertram stop. All sections are connected by a large footbridge.
  Sheffield station is designed to accommodate both through and terminating trains. Platforms 2c, 3, 4 and 7 can be used by terminating trains only.
  The station has 9 platforms, numbered 1 to 8 and 2C. Platforms 1, 3 and 4 are divided into a and b sections to allow a brief stabling of terminating services before they are scheduled to depart. The station has four through roads which are used for through running or more commonly for stabling stock. Between platforms 5 and 6 these are known as "1-Up" and "2-Up" (they are on the "Up" or London-bound side of the station) whilst between platforms 1 and 2 are the "through road" with a direct path through the station or by a central crossover to the north end of platform 1 (1b), and "down station siding".
  Prior to the 1972 multiple-aspect signalling (MAS) scheme, the southern half of the current platform 8 was called platform 9. Trains from the north from platform 9 could avoid trains stood at platform 8 via an additional through road.
  The platforms are generally used as follows:
  Platforms 1 and 2 - Northern to Huddersfield (via Barnsley and Penistone) and to Leeds via Barnsley (express); TransPennine Express to Cleethorpes; CrossCountry to Newcastle and Scotland
  Platform 2C - Northern stopping trains to Manchester Piccadilly
  Platforms 3 and 4 - local stopping trains to Leeds (both routes), Lincoln, Adwick and Scarborough/Bridlington/Hull
  Platform 5 - East Midlands Railway to London, Norwich and Nottingham; CrossCountry to Birmingham, Reading and Exeter
  Platform 6 - CrossCountry to Birmingham, Reading and Exeter, Northern to Nottingham (via Alfreton), TransPennine Express to Manchester Airport
  Platform 7 - East Midlands Railway to Norwich and Liverpool
  Platform 8 - East Midlands Railway to Manchester and Liverpool; East Midlands Railway to London.
