Huddersfield station to reopen

Closed as of 30 August, it will reopen with three newly rebuilt and extended platforms operating from 29 September.

Some services will be replaced by buses and passengers can check journey details on the National Rail website.

The next step in the Transpennine Route Upgrade will involve the completion of the remaining platform, canopy, and track work.

Due to complete in early 2027, the upgrades to Huddersfield train station will mean it can accommodate longer trains with more capacity, improving passenger comfort and journey reliability.

While works are ongoing, stations including Cottingley, Morley, Batley, Ravensthorpe, Brighouse, Halifax, Low Moor and Bradford Interchange will not have direct trains to Huddersfield.

Paul Sumner, senior sponsor for TRU, said: “We’re looking forward to reopening Huddersfield station at the end of this month, however, we know customers will notice some changes.

“This includes trains arriving/departing from different platforms and some temporary service alterations.

“We want to thank customers for their patience as we continue this once-in-a-generation investment and would encourage anyone travelling through the area to plan their journey ahead of time.”

Chris Nutton, major projects & TRU director at TransPennine Express, said: “As we move into phase two of the Huddersfield station upgrade, it will look and operate differently than it did before, with fewer platforms available and some minor changes to TransPennine Express services.

“With one week to go before the station reopens, we encourage customers to plan ahead and check if these changes will affect you.”
