Sundays there is a two-hourly service in each direction with southbound services extending to Sheffield.

All northbound trains stop, but of the southbound services to London, one per day does not.

In addition to these, a new island platform numbered 5 and 6 is located on the north side of the station, normally used for southbound services.

Also, weekday southbound services do not stop at Peterborough.

The southbound service then heads straight into Birmingham New Street.

My train from Burdwan stopped regularly, sometimes to shunt or to cross a southbound service.

The exit from the southbound services has been altered to feed directly into the M50 junction.

In May 2005 it was reported that the southbound services had overnight parking facilities for 100 lorries.

There is a less frequent southbound service on Sundays.

Both northbound and southbound services also have award-winning farm shops.
