On Twitter. Gavin Powers‏ asked station operators Virgin what they were doing to tackle the issue and wrote: "Does @Virgin_TrainsEC have plans to properly sort the vile sewage issue at #Doncaster Station? Rail travel already stinks. Didn't need this!

And in an earlier message he wrote: "Bewildering how #Doncaster station can spend millions on idiotically placed Platform0, yet can't fix a foul sewage leak been there years!"

Another Twitter user, Char‏ @charvanderlijn wrote: "Doncaster train station has *I assume from the pungent smell* sewage water running down the stairs so we had to get in the only lift."
