From Monday 26 May until Friday 20 June, services will be impacted between Huddersfield and Leeds to facilitate Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) work at different sites across this section of the route.
Weekday services between Ravensthorpe and Leeds will be impacted between Ravensthorpe and Leeds during this period. Weekend services remain unaffected.
Weekend services between Huddersfield and Dewsbury will be impacted on 31 May-1 June, 7-8 June, and 14-15 June. Weekday services remain unaffected during this period.
Customers will be kept on the move during these works via diversionary routes and rail replacement buses, and are urged to check before they travel at nationalrail.co.uk.
TRU engineers will complete a series of major upgrades, including track renewals, which will help enable faster, more reliable trains in the future.
Overhead line equipment (OLE) foundation installations will also be carried out, enabling electrification to power cleaner, greener trains in the future.
Work to a number of bridges and tunnels will also be completed, whilst site preparation continues at Dewsbury station to facilitate the extension of the platforms, so that longer trains with more seats can stop at the station in the future.
Andrew Campbell, Sponsor for TRU, said:
“The upcoming period is key for TRU, where a wide range of upgrades across West Yorkshire will bring us a step closer to faster, more frequent trains with more seats through the area and beyond.”
