No trains will call at Huddersfield on weekends in April and disruption will continue into May and June.
Last updated 25th Feb 2026
Significant rail disruption is on the way for Huddersfield for the next three months as work on the Transpennine Route Upgrade continues.
No trains will call at Huddersfield on weekends in April and disruption will continue into May and June. TRU says that where possible, customers will remain on trains, using diversionary routes or services running as close as possible to the closure areas. However, journey times will change, and some customers may need to use rail replacement buses for part of their trip.
Brighouse station will be used as a rail and bus interchange location for those travelling to or from Huddersfield during affected periods.
Paul Sumner, TRU Senior Sponsor, said: “We understand the ongoing work will cause some disruption, and we’d like to thank everybody for their patience throughout this period.
“The Transpennine Route Upgrade will bring major benefits, including more trains, more seats and faster, more reliable journeys across the North. These improvements, from electrifying the route to upgrading stations and modernising signalling, will help create a greener, more dependable railway that better serves local communities for years to come.”
