As part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade, the multi-billion-pound project transforming rail travel across the Pennines, Huddersfield station will be closed for 30 days between Saturday 30 August and Sunday 28 September to enable remodelling work at the station.
During the 30-day closure, teams from Network Rail will be delivering platform and track remodelling work at Huddersfield station. This includes extending the length of the current platform 2 to accommodate longer trains and remodelling the current platform 1 with platform extensions taking place to the east of the station.
Alongside this, there will be a significant amount of work taking place on Huddersfield viaduct, with one of the arches being completely replaced, whilst other sections of the viaduct will undergo extensive strengthening work. Other work will also be taking place on the route between Huddersfield and Stalybridge and at Deighton station too.
Whilst some of the routes will be shut, Network Rail will also be carrying out track renewals and signalling commissioning.
