Can people just not get the tram or even (shock horror) walk, its not that far. There is no need to have a train service connecting the two when the tram does that easy enough. Train tickets are vailid on the tram in city centre so why not advertise that more.

why not spend the money and do up Mayfield Station and use it for the long distance trains and piccadilly for local services., makes more sense to spend the money there than a pointless connection train service.
