High Speed Platforms Conventional Platforms Concourse Station Description Proposed – Forecourt Station Car Park Supertram Stop Platforms Meadowhall high speed station would be located on a viaduct structure running from southeast to northwest across the Don Valley, approximately 22m above ground level. This would be comparable to the adjacent level of the M1 Tinsley Viaduct. In the immediate area of the platforms there would be six tracks. The two centrally-situated tracks would be through lines for non-stopping trains, and these tracks would not have platform faces adjacent to them. There would be four tracks for stopping trains, based around two centrally-loaded island platforms, one for northbound services and one for southbound services. The platforms would be 415m long and 12m wide. At ground the four-platform conventional network station at Meadowhall Interchange would be modified by moving the Rotherham platforms (for trains to Sheffield, Rotherham Central and Doncaster) nearer to the high speed station and constructing new pedestrian links. Concourse The station would have multiple entrances, for access to and from different travel modes. The primary station entrances and main concourse with ticket hall and other station facilities would be located at ground level, beneath the viaduct, raised approximately 1m from the current ground level to lift it clear of the flood plain, and surrounded by the station forecourt. From ground level, a series of escalators and lifts would provide vertical circulation for access to the platforms via an upper concourse. The main bank of escalators from ground level would lead up to the upper concourse, and from there, further banks of escalators and lifts would lead up to the platforms. On the upper concourse, a further entrance would also be located at the northwest end, where a bridge would lead to the Supertram and conventional network platforms at Meadowhall Interchange. A pedestrian bridge at the southeast end of this level would give direct access to a multi-storey car park.
