 Transport Secretary, Chris Grayling confirmed in a letter to John Healey, the MP for Wentworth and Dearne, that a parkway station in South Yorkshire is still under consideration and that Grayling and the other local MPs were making the case for a station.In September 2017, there were further calls for a station in South Yorkshire, while HS2 Ltd said any new station would require a consultation and that they were still assessing the eight sites proposed in January 2017.Any new station would have to be near existing railway lines in order to provide the best benefits of HS2.
